installing srcds

[linux hates me]

ok, im trying to set up a srcds server and i do the "./steam -command create -username killer123 -email mymail@aol.meh -password moomoo -question "What do cows do?" -answer "moo"" not working, do i try the "./steam -create killer123 mymail@aol.meh moomoo "What do cows do?" "moo""hmm that doesnt work either i get the "Checking bootstrapper version ..." and it gives me a list of commands, so i say to my self "self, i have an xtra account, lets use that. so i skip down to "./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -username killer123 -password moomoo -remember_password" put in my info and its a nogo. so i try it like this "./steam -update "Counter-Strike Source" <MYDIR> killer123 [moomoo Y]" that doesnt work either, so i try it withought the "[]" and still the same thing, i do it a few more times and it still doesnt work.
im confused, im hosting a lan party, and i need this, can anyone help ?

it all depends really, the way my dedicated server is setup is that each connection gets a dedicated 200KB/sec(great for games )
Keep in mind you're downloading about

800MB or so

But anyways, at 200KB/sec it takes about. 45-60 minutes i think, not sure, i normally do something else while steam downloads.
