sh: line 1: uncompress: command not found
Broken pipe

well maybe your not doing it as root ?
or if you are, maybe you have a corrupt or incomplete download ?

oh and glad to see you got along fine verdeboy2k

could i not be loged in as root?
i completed the download twice, the only what it could be corrupt either is if its corrupt on their server??

also the guide showed me how to open .bin file so i tired to open the steam install from steam's website ds_l_1120_full.bin and it gave almost the same error

to become root:
su
*type password when it prompts for it*
and youre root. now try the script. type exit to go back to normal.

also, guys thanks for the help, Linux just isnt one of those things you can pick up in a day
