    edit: the second way seems to just allow editing of the client.cfg file, which again does not affect the arguments passed to the program, I don't believe
    Okay when you downloaded the script and uncompressed it there should have been 2 files called client and system. Look in those files for an example. I don't use those files myself, I used to until jpkotta pointed something out to me. Any way I can't remember if you edit the files then run the installer or edit the files in the folding dir, you'll have to ask jpkotta about that. Example of client.options file. Remember Linux command line arguments go here or system, of course.
    Code:
    # Folding@Home Linux client options.
    
    # This file contains per-client options.  It will override options specified in 
    # /etc/default/foldingathome, if it exists.
    
    # Use the CLIENT_OPTS variable to set any options that you want the client to  
    # use.                              
    # Example: CLIENT_OPTS='-advmethods -forceasm'                                 
                                                                                   
    # Run the client executable with the help option (e.g. "FAH504-Linux.exe -help")
    # to learn what options are available.
    
    # Options specified here will override system-wide options.
    # To keep system-wide options, use CLIENT_OPTS="$CLIENT_OPTS -opt1 -opt2 ..."
    # Remember that double quotes are different than single quotes.
                    
    #CLIENT_OPTS=''
    Oh ya, I almost forgot to tell you that these files only come with the more recent scripts. Like I said you probably want to download and install the latest script. Uninstall your current one by using
    Code:
    sudo ./folding_install.sh uninstall

    OK, thanks. I will wait for Jonathan to post again before taking any action.

    I did notice that I do not appear to have a /etc/default/foldingathome file on my system.

    Thanks for all your help guys. I am used to doing this in WIndows with regedit, I like knowing what my performance fraction is.

    Re: Howto setup Folding@Home

    Download the latest installer tarball from the wiki. Unpack and run the installer with the update option. You can edit the relevant files before or after you install. If you're installing to the system, then the relevant files will be /etc/default/foldingathome and /opt/foldingathome/config/client?.options. BTW, most config files for daemons ("services" in Windows) are in /etc/default (on Debian systems, anyway). I guess the nice thing about the registry is that everything is in one place. Of course, that's also the problem with it. I really wish distributions would standardize where files go.
    Help yourself: Search the community docs or try other resources.

    OK, got it. I think I had a version from March. DLed the version from 4/21 and edited the systemwide options file. Thanks! (And sorry for being so dense--your help is really, REALLY appreciated).

    Well, whatever I did, folding at home now no longer is automatically started at startup.

    Re: Howto setup Folding@Home

    OK, going nuts here. I finally got folding to start on my machine, but the flags I specified in

    /opt/foldingathome/config/client1.options

    Code:
    # Folding@Home Linux client options.
    
    # This file contains per-client options.  It will override options specified in
    # /etc/default/foldingathome, if it exists.
    
    # Use the CLIENT_OPTS variable to set any options that you want the client to
    # use.
    # Example: CLIENT_OPTS='-advmethods -forceasm'
    
    # Run the client executable with the help option (e.g. "FAH504-Linux.exe -help")
    # to learn what options are available.
    
    # Options specified here will override system-wide options.
    # To keep system-wide options, use CLIENT_OPTS="$CLIENT_OPTS -opt1 -opt2 ..."
    # Remember that double quotes are different than single quotes.
    
    #CLIENT_OPTS='-verbosity 9 -forceasm'
    did not get applied!

    GRRRR!

    Whenever there is an # sign in front of the options that means it is commented out. In other words it says ignore me. So just remove the # sign.
    Code:
    CLIENT_OPTS='-verbosity 9 -forceasm'
