For the no nonsense text client I made a folder on my desktop called F@H and put the console .exe in there. When you run it you configure it and need internet access to download a WU and the required core to go with it. There are different cores. The next time internet access is needed is when the WU is completed to upload the results and get another WU. Here is a pic of the folder contents for my F@H folder. Right now it is 6.81 MB total. I run the text client 24/7 and rip, burn, surf etc with it running with no problems.
