Linux BETA README      5/4/99

To run the Half-Life/TFC decidated linux server, unpack the linuxbeta.tar.zip 
file into a directory on your server.

You will need to copy libhlwon.so on your library path(/etc/ld.so.conf).


Start the server by running ./hlds_l. After it has loaded, you are able to 
type commands into the server. During load time, you should see a message that 
says "WON Auth". This means that you are automatically registered on the 
Internet and people will start joining your game. 

If you don't see "WON Auth" but instead see "Auth Server", this means that 
you did no authenticate with the WON server either because you have an older
version of the server or your may not be able to reach the WON servers due to
a firewall or proxy.

After the server is loaded, you can set the number of allowed players with the 
maxplayers ("maxplayers 16") command. I would not recommend any more than 16
players on a 200mhz machine.

To start the maps, use the map command ("map cz2"). 

Please report any problems to mike@valvesoftware.com

Enjoy!
