Newbie alert (me) , I'm currently running SuSE 8.2 and have been trying for more then a few days to get Seti@home client to run and failed miserably each time.
I get messages like file not found or in the console bad command or old command.While the installation instruction seem rather straightforward and simple , but I still fail each time.
I'm at this time running in KDE mode.
my processor is athlon 2700
mother board a A7N8X deluxe
graphics a nvidia MX 440 w/128 on board memory
and 512 ddr ram.
I would find some step by step instructions most helpful at this time.
any help would be most appreciated.
(please remember I'm a newbie who can barely figure out what a console is ) Wow and I got SuSE installed very few problems , go figure.

Which seti@home are you using, text mode or the graphical one?

If text mode, just cd into the seti@home directory and type in a console window, setiathome -verbose. At least that is how I use mine. I don't use the graphical version.

didn't work. All I got "old command " see help.
