folding with the console

i'd like to run my folding on the console but i'm completely ignorant of running it on there. can you run me through a little step by step of how? do any of you also know some kinda of tutorial site i can go to to learn more about the console? thanks for your help

 

excuse my ignorance...how do i "cd into the desktop directory"....? i'm unfamiliar with console commands...

 

i don't use aim, actually i am not a big fan of instant messaging...you can email me though at howardface@hotmail.com

i did figure out how to cd to the desktop...and i learned to type pwd to find out whats in it..and the os x-3.24 program was in there but when i typed that in it didn't do anything!! so i don't know whats up...

 

duh i'm retarded...i was typing "osx-3.24" instead of "./osx-3.24" like i said i don't know much about using the terminal, but would like to learn

thanks for your help

 

one more quick question...i noticed in the console demo they have on the folding site i shows number of frames and number of frames completed...mine doesn't show that...heres what it looks like:

sorry to keep bugging about this, i'm just very curious

 

hey, thanks everyone for your help. i've been enjoying folding with the terminal, i also think its a big faster on my ibook 700mhz. also just thought i'd ask, are there servers really bogged down today? i just finished a wu this morning and it wouldn't turn in...then i looked on there site at some stats and for today theres a huge peak in like every team. i hope i get credit for that wu!!!!

thanks again
