New to F@H I have a question

HI,

So I have just set up F@H using the excellent guide here. I have one question however.

If I want to have several machines run the client under my username do I need to differ anything in the Set up? e.g. increment the machine ID for each new machine I add the client to using my username

Thanks for any advice on this. I have a bank of 6 machines that run 24/7 and I would like to add the client to them for my username.

That makes sense. Thanks for the help. I will set the other machines I have up tomorrow.

I don'tsuppose you know if there is a batch file created that I can change the vaules in to automate the install process?

Are these machines dedicated to folding? If they are, and will do nothing else, then use a diskless system. Can be run from USB or CD/DVD. Doesnt need mouse/kb/monitor/vidcard etc. Its simple enough to 'install' just put the fahconsole exe into a directory and run it. Answer the questions and its done. Takes about a minute.

No they won't be dedicated to folding. They carry out other tasks during the day although not heavily used. I set the console version up on my home machine and I guess it really only took about 1 minute I'm just being lazy.
