[ydl-gen] install SETI at home on PS3 with UDL6.1 - addendum

[Paul Gregory]

Hi Derick

This link was blank when I launched it
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/


I found a older client that does run (it installs using TAR and CHMOD
cmds).  Not very meaningful without the GUI.    boinc_client gets installed
but the GUI does not.  When I call boinc_client all I can do is watch it
create xml , projects and slots directories, and see the process taking CPU
on the resource monitor.

Looks like I am stuck withou a GUI unless I can find the source to
boinc_manager.

the link below gives me a failed redirection page in german.

Fehler 404

Thanks for the assist.  I will keep trying to find source for boinc_manager
on the PPC Linux, then return for more help (punishment :) ) to test
soluions.
