SMP client - who, what, where, when, how.

Babyface if you are having trouble installing Ubuntu, you can run the SMP clinent off the Ubuntu Live CD.
It will be a bit slower, but atleast youll be up and running.
Im not sure you could use fininstall to set up a service but if you follow Stanfords guide it works.
One thing to look out for though:
The SMP clinents beta finnished on the 15-01-07 so inorder to run it youll need to set the date to anyday before the 15th.

On some PCs Ubuntu is a breeze to set up but on others it can be an absolute pig, all depends on your hardware.

Hope this helps, Tom

The SMP clients beta end date error has been sorted now. You have to redownload the version on the F@H download page and replace the 'fah5' files.

Got Ubuntu installed as a dual boot, but its getting the smp client installed to start when ubuntu starts and also running this when windows is running is giving me problems - i've only got time for a ten min fix atm as i'm as busy as i've ever been and I can't give this problem the time needed to sort.
