The machine is a power mac 7200/90, 64 megs ram, 5 gigs hdd space.
it is currently running mac os 9.1, and yellowdog linux 2.3 (it needs mac os, because of the 'oldworld/newworld' rom stuff)
the HLDS server i downloaded is for linux, and someone has before gotten it running on a mac, running linux.
my problem, even thought i just tried downloading it to my powerbook, then to my linux server.
is the somehow the .bin file becomes unusable when it hits linux.
i've tried chmod a+x and chmod 755... with these new files... and running it as sh hlds.bin and ./hlds.bin
neither work, both state that it's not executable.
and seeing that the only place i can get this file from, is file planet, and those butthat's think that not using .tar.gz is a good idea... if someone can point me to a better server with it (google'd all i can), i'd be happy-er.
thanks

You need to download it using a mac.
