Title: Rig Ready, but Need Software Help
Post by: elrodvoss on March 08, 2012, 03:48:54 AM
Evening everyone,

Well, I got one of the three rigs ready to go, but im stuck at the software part.

I have been advised to use BAMT, since these will be stand-alone rigs, but I am 100% ignorant when it comes to Linux.

As it stands now, I have a naked 4gb flash drive ready to go, but I need a guide or step-by-step to go further.

Basically, I need steps for Linux install, BAMT install, and how to "remote" monitor from a windows 7 based computer.


Any help or direction would be grateful and rewarded.


Thank in advance.

Well I got BAMT installed and I got one card working, but I am noticing a smaller issue.

I have the card clocked out at 900 GPU, but im only getting 214 hash on average and only 64% load.

How can i improve the load and the hash.  I only have the setting tweaked using the AMD Overdrive program and not through BAMT config yet.  Could that be the issue?

When I use GUminer, I get 300-320 from the same make and model of cards. 

Any help would be greatful.

Splirow, could you post the guide here? :)

I'm new to linux too, and with harddrive prices being high as they are, running miners of USB sticks would be pretty sweet!

That is the guide for linuxcoin. I feel Bamt is way better, simple.
