I have installed Redhat 6.2 on a K7S5A with a 1700+ XP processor.

I could use assistance in where to unzip and place the file(s).

Thanks,

Follow the instructions for UNIX in the Download page labeled 'UNIX Text Client Installation'.

I've always installed it in my home directory so in my case the files end up in /home/vsemaska/distribfold.

What is the syntax from the command line to get the program foldit to run?
Its something like ./ foldit, but thats not it its something similar.

Thanks,
Bruce

Yes, ./foldit is the command to run the client. It's a script that runs the software. Remember to set your default directory with the cd command to the distribfold sub-directory before running the script.

Also, if you want to use some of the client options that are available edit the ./foldit script and add to them to the command at the bottom of the script. A description of the options available can be found in the readme1st.txt file.
