From this thread

I have attempted to create a miniFAQ for the Seti@Home boards, which I'm currently hosting on my website.

Once I've converted the HTML to BBCode I will post the miniFAQ on the Seti Forum.

If any body finds the FAQ acceptable please feel free to host it on your own site, and make improvements or changes. Please also feel free to refer to it or copy and paste sections of it in response to questions in the forums if you deem it useful or appropriate to the questioners.

Feel free to bookmark the page if you would like to refer to it when the Seti@Home site is down.

miniFAQ: 10 Frequently Asked Questions / Common Problems

1. How do I set up Seti@Home (or any other Boinc project)

2. How do I link my Classic account to Boinc

3a. Why can't I upload or download or connect to the server

3b. I've installed Boinc but it's still not working

4a. What is Boinc credit and where do I see it

4b. What's happened to my Classic credits

5. Where are all my Statistics and Figures

6a. How do I setup the Screen Saver

6b. How do I get the Classic Screen Saver back

7. Why has Classic closed

8. How do I find an answer to a question

9. Have the developers mentioned anything important recently

10. I want an Avatar and a Signature

Please feel free to comment on whether this FAQ is useful or not.

If it doesn't help, let me know what you tried and I'll see if I can re-write it to make it more useful.

Also let me know if it has helped.

Cheers.

The BOINC miniFAQ is too large to fit into a post in the forums, so that isn't going to happen.

It is linked to from the front page of the BOINC Wiki though.

If you are new to BOINC, then here is a brief getting started guide:

BOINC miniFAQ: 10 Frequently Asked Questions / Common Problems

Let me know if anything is just plain wrong, or doesn't help, so that I can correct errors or make it better.

Let me know if it does help too, so that I know which parts are good and which are bad.

I've moved the SETI Enhanced FAQ to a separate page, as the miniFAQ is getting less mini.

There is a link in section 1.e to it: Seti Enhanced FAQ

I think I might have to do a bit of a re-write, and shorten things a bit.
I think it's been long enough now that the Seti Classic stuff can removed or greatly reduced.

Hi Kinhull

Some sections of your FAQ items would make useful additions to the four cpdn/BBC ReadMe's that MikeMarsUK has compiled. I probably wouldn't find time to do anything about this until November, but would you have any objections to me/us copying/pasting/adapting some sections, where your name as author would of course be mentioned?

A lot of what you've done is SETI-specific, but by no means all.

Sure.
Use anything you want, and improve it in any way you feel is beneficial to your target audience.
