Installing Boinc and attaching to WCG in Linux

[LP]

I just went through the process again, so I can post what I did to install it.
I have used this method to install Boinc in both Mepis and SuSE.

Download Boinc and save to disk
open a terminal in that folder and type in-

sh boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Hit enter.

Close that terminal and open the Boinc folder.
(You need your Boinc url
www.worldcommunitygrid.org
and your Boinc ID account # available to copy and
paste here.)
Click on the Boincmgr icon. It should open and pop up
a "attach to project" window.
Enter the project URL and your account key in the
proper places.
Tip- I have found that trying to paste in these text
boxes using the mouse doesn't always work. Use the
keyboard to paste them in.
It should connect and download, and start running the
program.
Just minimize it and you are good to go.

You can also run this through the command line and set it to run in the background, but I don't use that method, so I'm not up on how you'd go about it.

I'll give it a shot next time I'm on the Linux box. Thank you very much LP for posting a how to for me. Your the greatest!!!
