Test4Theory disk requirements

Post by UBT - Timbo »

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
