I believe this file should work for you (provided you have a chip that can
run something compiled for i686 (celeron, pentium II/III, duron, athlon,
etc)).

put the above .tar file in your home directory, or wherever you want it,
and then run the command:

     tar -xvf setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static.tar

This will create a directory with the name:

     setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static

which you can change to something shorter, like "seti" using the mv
command:

     mv setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static seti

then, cd into the seti directory, and run setiathome, ie:

     ./setiathome

You will be asked for your id info the first time your run it...and thats
pretty much it.
