[cod] 2.24GB worth of install

[BludGeonT[EUG]]

compress and uncompress should be able to handle the file, but there
are serveral different things you might try.

One is the symlinking which is how we do it at Earthlink Ultimate
Gaming.  Sym linking the entire directories from the master install
directory is handy, beucase it will allow you to have different
confirurations for each server, rather than having a command line
start another server from the master install and not the symlink.

Also, why dont you try tar'ing up only half fthe files at a time to
avoid the possible ULIMIT restriction.  As far as I know, linux should
be able to handle files over 2.2gb, its solaris that has the major
issues going over that.  Anyway, later

I think he's talking about creating the initial image on a server.
Symlinking the rest of the games on that box hopefully is what is done
after the initial image. In regards to the file size, did you check
your ulimit size? (ulimit -a)

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?
