Hello,


I'm new here sorry if this has been asked before (I tried search)

I may have an opportunity to run boinc client on a 32-cpu powerPC system, however it's completely isolated from Internet access. Is there any way to configure boinc for a "snicker net" mode? I could download work units on another machine and transfer them via CD, then transfer the results back.

Would this make a good work horse:

Sneaker netting is problematic with BOINC. You may be able to get it to work by copying the entire BOINC directory from a similar machine that has a connection. However the work may be automatically invalid since it was crunched by a different machine than the one used to download it.
