It does seem like a pretty good idea as you could run SETI@Home on a diskless machine without having to install it each time you started the box up.

Does anyone know if that idea was used in the new releases?
Is seti now included?....wish it was if it aint.
seti@home is a distributed computing program, right? Why do you want it?
This custom version of knoppix runs folding@home at startup in the background. There are scripts to view/start/stop/and configure it that make things very easy. It has a ton of apps just like knoppix. And you don't need to have a hard drive. It has samba, ssh, and vnc for remote connectivity, to share files, to use electron micorscope to monitor folding.
It also has:
seti@home
prime-net
memtest
cpuburn
lucifer
So its great to burn-in a new box without having to install an OS. It can also be installed via the knxhddinstall script and so it is a quick and easy way to install debian.
In a future release I'm adding scripts to d/l and install F-prot into ramdisk or a persisntent /home. That will let you scan windows partitions for virii wihout having to boot into windows. I've almost got the feature to automatically to save WU's to a hdd or pen drive at intervals in case of power failure, but F@H locks the work folder...
Overclockix iso 686mb, no md5sum yet, sorry
With this cd you could make layers of a folding/seti/prime cluster for around $150.
