Porteus

Just for now do this: mv /mnt/sda1/porteus/changes /mnt/sda1/disk # root/sudo du -sh /mnt/sda1/disk/changes guest@porteus:/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC$ mv /mnt/sda1/porteus/changes /mnt/sda1/...

Yes, it requires an internet connection, .. and I have one .. I am on it now with FIREFOX.

^ OK. Let's kill off boinc and start again in a very basic manner. pkill boinc ps -e | grep boinc # Should not show boinc --dir /mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC --daemon cd /mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC boincmgr And see if it is any different. guest@porteus:/mnt/sda1/disk/BOINC$ pkill boinc pkill: 1070 - Operation not ...
