Welcome to the Linux Basepractice and regular Netrek Server. Installation: 1. Fetch the linux-nt.tgz gziped tar archive. 2. Uncomress and untar it on the Linux /usr/local/games dir. 3. Start /usr/local/games/netrek/start_server 4. Run your favorite Client and play. Several Linux clients can be found in the bin.clients and cow directory Known problems. You don't need to run the Server under root anymore. In fact, on my system it even didn't work under root because of problems with rsh (xon) for starting the practice robots. The source will be included to the Vanilla Server release and is available among other sites on ftp.risc.uni-linz.ac.at in /pub/netrek/src/Server2.06pl?.tar.Z In case of problems check the ERRORS file and contact: siegl@risc.uni-linz.ac.at Have fun, Kurt (007)
