I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find a straight answer for my problem. I run Source games off of the Linux server down the hall (Ubuntu 6.10). I have HL2DM and CSS installed and running fine. It took forever to download the content, but it works.
I recently bought Garry's Mod 10 so I thought it would be cool to run a Garry's Mod 10 server. I noticed "garrysmod" was listed when I ran the steam update command so I gave it shot. At first, it didn't work. It wanted a different installation directory than I had used for all the other games (the dir where all the current server files are is srcds_l). So used the following command.
This would install the Garry's Mod 10 server in '/srcds_l/gmod'.
While watching the downloaded files list grow bigger, I went to my Windows machine to look at the Garry's Mod 10 GCF file. Everything the steam update program was downloading wasn't in there, it was HL2 content. Or so it seemed to me, but I'm pretty sure it was downloading all the content over again.
How do I install a Garry's Mod 10 server WITHOUT it re-downloading all the HL2 content? The server doesn't have a big hard-drive (30 gig) so I don't want to waste space if I don't have to.
