[cod] HELP!! - Arrrg - Problem getting things running

[Jay Vasallo]

Ah OK, now i see what you guys are saying. Well it really goes like this. It 
executes the server.cfg first from the pk3 and since I now have "another" 
server.cfg it will execute that one also and take all the settings from the 
last server.cfg.  have you guys noticed that when you just execute the 
coduo_lnxded with no configs, you get a default server running...with a 
mapcycle? Well thats it.
