Yes, I'll apply this patch. The procedure to make AMD64 clients useful includes then the following steps, right? apt-get install libc6-i386 invokre-rc.d boinc-client stop sed -i -e 's/<platform_name>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu<\/platform_name>/<platform_name>i686-pc-linux-gnu<\/platform_name>/' /var/lib/boinc-client/client_state.xml invoke-rc.d boinc-client start We'll need to document this in the boinc-client.README.Debian. -- Es irrt der Mensch, solang' er strebt.
