  How about multiple tarballs? If that's not possible, try something like this.  
  Have your installation directory be given the ability to be NFS mounted onto 
  your servers, then run this command:

  cd /vanilla_install_dir; tar cf - .| (cd /new_server_install_dir; tar xvfBp -)

  Where /vanilla_install_dir is the directory structure is origanally located and 
  /new_server_install_dir is the new server directory structure.  After it's finished, 
  umount the dir and you are ready to go.

    Can this be cut down to under 2GB by getting rid of any of the standard CoD files?  2.24GB is too big for linux to handle as a tar file.  The way I deploy servers is by making a single vanilla working server and then tarball the server so it can be easily rolled out when ever I need to setup another server or fix a corrupted server.  Linux won't copy the file from the server where the tarball is stored to the server where the game is being setup.  Is there any way to reduce the size of the installation?
