Just downloaded 4.43 on my second Linux box, running Mandriva 2005LE. Since I like graphical interfaces, I want to start boincmgr from my startup script.
Question: Do I need to start both boincmgr and boinc? In that order?

Hi
I would advise to start Boinc and then the BoincManager, because if you start the BoincManager first, it\'s possible that it doesn\'t succeed to connect to Boinc and you\'ll have a message saying that BoincManager is disconnected.
The important program is Boinc: BoincManager is just a graphic interface to control it, so Boinc must be started first.

Thanks for that. I have noticed when running BOINC under XP that boincmgr fails to connect about 2/3 of the time. I\'ll check that too.
