Test4Theory disk requirements
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 10:33 am
Hi all,
I've been emailed by LHC about setting up my BOINC client to crunch their "Test4Theory" app.
So, I had a few mins this morning and thought I'd add it....
Only I get a "note" in my BOINC client that says:
Test4Theory needs 6171.42MB more disk space. You currently have 1457.98MB available and it needs 7629.39MB.
I'm thinking to myself - this app needs nearly 8GB (of HDD space) in order to be able to run..... ?????
jeez.......what is the world coming to ? The original SETI app only needed about 350kb (iirc) and using BOINC Manager was supposedly going to minimise disk space requirements, as it was a common front end for all these apps...
regards
Tim
