Help with starting a linux server
Can someone link me to the files to get a server started in linux? Thank you, Russty.
do you have a normal Linux server running?
sure .... http://www.linuxfromscratch.org
why from scratch?
Use debian, (www.debian.org) download the net install and use apt-get the best install system ever (just apt-get install what ever you want)
well...he asked for a link ..i prefer lfs...so I posted it ![]()
Debian is also good...but i want more control ...so compile the whole shit ur self is the way to go I think. It can ofcause be a mess if u are not carefull with the packages options when u configure them and also compiler flags.
But this is just my preference, im not saying that lfs is better.
It also has the advantage that a n00b perhabs would learn what a base system consists of and how to use those programs.
If you got Linux started and running It aint that bad, get the install file from http://www.idsoftware.com/ (get linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run from somewhere)
(I presume you are in console, couse gui sucks (if you are not in console go there now control+alt+f2 (f#, and f7 to go back))
./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run that should start the install.
After that goto the installed dir and run ./q3ded -fs_game excessiveplus etc etc
Hi, I downloaded the linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run. Is that ALL I need or is that just an update to 1.32 point release? Do I need a working copy of Quake3 in Linux first?
Also, my old cfg files and stuff should still work correct?
and ALSO (
, is there a way to make a clickable executable like the batfiles in windows to start these servers? I am running REDHAT 9 and yes, I will take the nice gui before best performance ![]()
and i tried to run the installer, it tells me the checksums are different ![]()
Just redownload it, and yes you need the "Orriginal" pk3 files for the server to be able to start the maps, and your own custom maps
I have copied the root Quake III Arena files, the baseq folder and the excessiveplus folder to my linux box, and I put the file in the Quake3Arena folder.
This is what happens
[linus@localhost Quake3Arena]$ ./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run
Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: 4df0015a2bb7c1d4d88a2ebe8a6214ac is different from 3c4a321e0fd5e5596ea8f703239248c6
I have redownloaded the file from IDSoftwares ftp twice and also tried to download it from one other source. 3 files, same error all times.



Well, how has anyone else got one started?
How do you install it and get it running?
There is no such thing as a dumb question, but there is a such thing as a dumb answer......
