Okay, I'm getting more and more fed up with not only the fouled up installs
(files missing, some installing incorrectly), but the constant connection
resets while attempting to install TF2. I've been as diplomatic as possible,
but now, the steam update tool is installing TF2 into a different install
path on and off?????

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/setup $ ./update
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
Checking/Installing 'Team Fortress 2 Content' version 5

0.00%   .\tf\bin\server.dll

Okay, as you can see, that's the beginning of the install. Notice all of the
no record found at .'s? This is a blank folder installing a new install of
tf2, running the command "./steam -command update -game "tf" -dir ." which
should install our game. However, sometimes I get what you see above, other
times I get half "No record at ." and half "No record found at orangebox".
Example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/setup$ ./update
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
No installation record found at ./orangebox
No installation record found at ./orangebox
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at .
No installation record found at ./orangebox
Checking/Installing 'Team Fortress 2 Content' version 5

0.00%   ./orangebox\tf\bin\server.dll

You cannot be serious in that I am getting different paths to install the
files when trying to install tf2 multiple times. If it's not one thing, it's
another.

Yes I know it's a beta, so if you're going to retort that this is a beta,
don't. This is a public beta, and if it wasn't ready for prime-time beta
testing, it shouldn't have been released. I've just had it up to here with
Linux being the bastard child of the dedicated servers with VALVe, and the
fact that I purchased a server specifically to host this game, and I *can't
even install the damn files to do so*, I've about reached my limit. I've
hosted Source for coming up on three years, and I've dealt with some wacky
stuff over the years (like updates completely breaking Linux, no plugins
involved), but this takes the cake.

Can you throw the Linux admins a bone, VALVe? Honestly.
