Hey! I just did "apt-get install setiathome" and it asked me if I wanted to download the client from the ftp server. It's in the contrib section, so your mileage may vary. After a short "setiathome -login" I was up and running. That's too easy. --Mike Rob Hudson wrote: Team EUGLUG is now

Unfortunatly it's an x86 problem, as somebody alluded to eariler - ext2 can have MUCH larger file size, but the kernel is using 32bits in the VFS code above ext2, limiting a single file to 2 gig. 64 bit systems (e.g. Alpha) dont have that limitation. There is supposed to be a patch out there
