Fedora 11 setup
#1
im using a fresh install of fedora 11 (32 bit) and ever time i get to this part of installing

Code:
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin && ./hldsupdatetool.bin

i get this error

Code:
sh: uncompress command not found
tar: This dose not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

i looked at the FAQ and tried this

Code:
ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

but then i get this error

Code:
ln: creating symbolic link '/user/bin/uncompress': Permission denied

anyone got any suggestions?

Try doing the symbolic link as root...either by logging in as the root user and retrying the command:
Code:
su -
ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

, or by placing 'sudo' in front of the command (assuming your user account is in the sudoers file):
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/uncompress

Either method will prompt you for a password, which you must know.

one more thing as the game content was downloading i was doing some research because i want to run a Garry's Mod server and it seems like Linux doesn't support gmod UN-less you use this wine thing. dose any one know if its a better idea to run a gmod server on windows (XP) or on what i have now linux (fedora 11). i just whant to find the quickest and esaest way to smoothly run, install, and maintain a good gmod server.

this is the type of server i have....
Code:
HP ProLiant DL585
Memory: 7.7 GiB

Using wine for linux SERVERS is a bad idea. First of all it is not that stable. Second it is a security risk, you do not want to take.
