ArmA 2 - Linux Standalone Server 1.05
=====================================

Installation instructions:
==========================
1. Following programs must have been installed on your Linux-box:
tar, gcc. Optional: md5sum (for setup integrity check)
1a. On some verions of Linux (this was reported for RedHat 9
and Gentoo linux 2.4.20) the NSCD deamon must be installed to
run ArmA 2 server successfully. Caching of DNS would be sufficient.
2. Copy the whole "ArmA 2" directory from Windows
to some Linux-directory (ArmA2). DON'T DO ANY DATA CONVERSIONS
(even "dos2unix" translation of text files is not necessary).
Example: you can use PKZIP (WinZip, PowerArchiver, etc.) on
Windows and "unzip" on Linux.
Don't use upper case letters in the ArmA2 directory name
(/home/bob/arma2 will be good, /home/bob/ArmA
may cause some troubles).
ArmA2 directory should contain subdirectories "Addons", "Bin",
"Campaigns", etc.
3. Copy the "server-x.xx.tar.gz" (x.xx is version number) file into
the ArmA2 directory. Unpack and install it with commands:
arma2$ tar -xjf server-x.xx.tar.bz2
arma2$ ./install
Watch the messages - they will inform you whether your installation
is successful.
4. Dedicated server can be started in foreground:
arma2$ ./server
Or in background:
o$ nohup ./server > out.txt 2> err.txt &
[1] <pid>
5. Running server can be stopped by executing:
$ kill -s SIGINT <pid>
Where <pid> is process-id of mother server thread (printed out in
"nohup" command).
6. ArmA2 server has a feature: command-line parameter
"-pid=<pid_file>". It causes creation of <pid_file> with
PID of root ArmA2 process. If IP port specified in "-port=<nn>"
parameter is busy (in usage), ArmA2 will terminate immediately
and <pid_file> won't be written..
7. The "arma2server" script is provided for automatic server
start/restart/status query/etc. Please be sure to edit
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS in lines 12 to 18 !
After this is done, install (hard-link?) the script into
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/arma2server" file. After that it can be managed
by "chkconfig" (see info/man).

Whilst I see this is great for a linux server, is there anyway, we can download the needed files from a remote source directly, rather than having to upload the files from windows which is, despite zipping up, going to be XX Gig?
For example, the easiest example being Valve's Counterstrike, where it has a dedicated download command to download the files it needs, not the entire game files...?
