for the non- linux-specific side of it,
advanced enemy territory server guide will hopefully fit requirements.

Hi,
Some
1) You must have installed linux emulation.
Quick help:
You can install it from ports ( /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base or pkg_add -r linux_base from package). I recommend you to install it from cvsup'ed ports tree.
You might consult the giant and super handbook also. See
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO885 ... uxemu.html
2) After it you can safely run the binary ( chmod u+x etbla.bin ; and run it with ./etbla.bin). Then it's normal installation program which asks paths etc.
Even more easy way, there is a FreeBSD port in /usr/ports/games/linux_enemyterritory where you do not worry about anything.
3) After you run the server ,check your kernel MBUFS and remember renice the proccess, if there are loaded services used like Apache. Somehow, FreeBSD generates yellow lag spikes if you do not give enough nice priority for it.
I hope this helped

Well to avoid errors I'd also recommend not to use the 2.55 but use the 2.56 which is available at
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/et/linux (or use a mirror of course).
