[mohaa] Linux Server Set-Up

[Josh Berry]

1) I install the game on my home computer, patch it,  etc...  
2) I add the the Linux dedicated server files, the "fgameded.so" file to
the Mainta Folder.  And the "spearhead_lnxded" file to the MOHAA Main
directory (not the Main folder).  
3) Then copy the entire MOHAA game folder onto a couple of CDR's and
send those to the Linux Server place.  
4) They copy the files from the disc into the server.
 
This is how I did it but remember that you only need the .pk3 files and
the linux binaries (plus your config files of course but you can do them
anytime and ftp them). You can get someone to send you the whole lot by
ftp from another fast server but either way it shouldn't be a problem (I
personally don't have a SH server any more so can't help on that front)

PLEASE HELP..we are confused.  We have a dedicated server that has a
Linux OS.    We have no physical access to our server, we have to access
it via the internet (like most).    Basically it is completely
unmanaged, we do everything. 
 
Does the server only need the Spearhead Linux Dedicated Server Beta 5 in
order to host a public Spearhead Game.  Or does the server have to have
the Game on it also?  
 
If it needs the game on it, how do we put that on a Linux server when it
is a Windows application.   Walk me throught this like I am a 5 year old

please.   I will try to explain what I think is supposed to be done: 
 
1) I install the game on my home computer, patch it,  etc...  
2) I add the the Linux dedicated server files, the "fgameded.so" file to
the Mainta Folder.  And the "spearhead_lnxded" file to the MOHAA Main
directory (not the Main folder).  
3) Then copy the entire MOHAA game folder onto a couple of CDR's and
send those to the Linux Server place.  
4) They copy the files from the disc into the server. 
 
IS THIS CORRECT??? or I am ass backwards on this?  
 
THANK YOU.
