[edit] General
These are detail instructions on how to select the Project's Master URL from the e-Mail.
- Note:
- Ensure that there are no leading or trailing spaces in the selected text. They can cause serious problems, the least of which is not being able to "Attach" the BOINC Client Software to a BOINC Powered Project.
- Note:
- A detailed process to perform this task is contained within the BOINC "How-To" Guide "Attaching The BOINC Client Software To A BOINC Powered Project".

Unknown at this time (I don't have a Linux machine yet). There are two different ways to work with Linux. One is Graphical User Interface and the other is Text Based. Selecting text will be different depending upon if the user is using Text Based system or Graphical User Interface.
