Hi!

I run gentoo as a linux base.

$ cat /compat/linux/etc/gentoo-release
Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1

And I dont install the steam binary from ports. I dont see any reason of
doing it since its basically just one binary.

$ cd /games/
$ mkdir cs-t
$ cd cs-t
$ fetch http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
$ chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
$ ./hldsupdatetool.bin
$ rm hldsupdatetool.bin
$ ./steam
$ ./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir .

I believe you need to run the hlds_i686 binary instead of hlds_amd. This
due that the linux_base is x86 and not amd/x64.

$  ./hlds_run -game cstrike -binary ./hlds_i686 +map de_dust2

Well I had a machine running FreeBSD 8.0-Release i386, so I figured I
would give that a shot, none of the gentoo ports I could see would give
me a /compat/Linux/proc folder so I tried Linux_base_F10, I follow all
your other steps, the update works fine, but running hlds results in a
crashed machine. I think I will give up on doing this via FreeBSD and go
the vmware route and install a Linux flavour on that.
