IIRC you may need to force it to use gnu tar to do the unpacking, steam just calls tar and on NetBSD that is our pax/tar and there is some funky option they use that messes up. You should be able to use ktruss to see what it is doing. I did manage to get steam installed and running on NetBSD quite a while ago back when the only thing you could do was run dedicated game servers. If you get over the install humps is works fine... at least for serving. -- Brett Lymn Staple Guns: because duct tape doesn't make that KerCHUNK sound - xkcd.com
