I tried using the launcher in menu that was placed there by the
automatic installation when I yum install boinc; and,

I tried boincmgr from the user command line.

I have no $HOME/BOINC;  (I used to in Fedora 8)
yum installed all boinc files in /var/lib/boinc/ including
gui_rpc_auth.cfg.

I have executables for boinc_client and boincmgr in /usr/bin
