KSetiSpy caches units, I *think* ... I usually try to stay away from KDE 
as much as possible, but you said you're on Mandrake 9.2, so I'm 
guessing you're probably in KDE most of the time.  :-)

I, personally, like jsetidoor, but I use that to cache for my entire 
LAN.  There's no reason you couldn't use it just on your non-connected 
laptop, though.

i tried lin-seti-0.7.6 but gave it a miss after it segfaulted on the first
run.

That's no good.  I haven't heard of lin-seti before.  I'm emerging it on 
my Gentoo system right now to check it out... until then...

Did you build it from source or did you install an RPM for it?  If you 
installed an RPM, I'd try building it from source so it links properly 
against all your current libraries.

If you built it from source and it still seg faulted, there's something 
fishy going on, and my guess is it's some Mandrake-altered bleeding-edge 
library lin-seti links against.

Ok, it finished emerging.  It only links against libc and ld-linux, so 
if it *is* a bleeding-edge library problem, I'd be a bit shocked and 
really dissapointed in Mandrake.  :-)

rob@dell rob $ lin-seti
 
lin-seti version 0.7.6...
 
Using "eng" language file.
Cache path: "/opt/setiathome/cache".
Seti client: "/opt/setiathome/setiathome".
Program id to use in cache: "lin-seti".
 
The are no wus available for analysis...

So... no seg faults here!  :-)
