Hello from Berlin !

Next week my computer will get a new operating system, updating from w2k to windows xp.
My update plan for boinc is as follows:
0. stop boinc service
1. backup the whole boinc directory
2. update the os (complete new installation)
3. install boinc client as a service
4. restore the backuped dir over the new installed
5. start the boinc service and continue crunching

Anything missed ?

Regards
