of install<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
