[bf1942] Linux port

[~GoG~1st.Pfc.$1L3ntN1t3]

hello everyone, i'm kinda new to this so forgive me for any of my errors
in posting questions/answers.

hey 'demolish' this may help you.

if you get any error from starting the server using this
(./bf1942_lnxded.static +game DesertCombat) its more than likely you
need to run it in static, first you will need to link the static binary

type in this order:
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ ln -sf bf1942_lnxded.static bf1942_lnxded
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ brandelf -t Linux bf1942_lnxded
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ ./bf1942_lnxded +restart 1 +game
DesertCombat &
"&" runs the process in the background so the server stays running even
after you log out

you may get this "warning: couldn't get CPU MHz from /proc/cpuinfo"
but edit /etc/fstab with your favorite editor, and make sure you have
these two lines:
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
then reboot your machine(warning if you mis-type anything in /etc/fstab
your machine will not boot properly)

once rebooted, verify procfs is properly working, by doing:
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ df -h

you should see something similar to this:
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a            378M    43M   304M    12%    /

procfs                 4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc
linprocfs              4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%
/usr/compat/linux/proc
pid87 at bigdaddy:/host     0B     0B     0B   100%    /host
pid87 at bigdaddy:/net      0B     0B     0B   100%    /net
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $  

also type this:
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ cat /compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo
you will see something like:
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 5
model           : 5
stepping        : 3
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 apic mmx
cpu MHz         : 232.67
bogomips        : 232.67
[bf1942 at bigdaddy:~/bf1942] $ 
(i know my machine is slow, but it has dual 233 cpu's & it's my test
server) 

the "bogomips" is the number that tells bf1942 'how fast' your server
is. If you dont have this, you will report a speed of 0.

it's what helped me to correctly install the game on FreeBSD 4.7 &
above.
