planning on setting ircd shell server running freebsd never tried this befor
what all do i need to install prior to installing unreal and is there any querks i should know about using freebsd.

There's nothing special about installing Unreal on FreeBSD (leastwise I haven't experienced any yet), it will compile and run just as fine as on a Linux system. The only thing you should know is, type "gmake" instead of "make" when you are about to compile, because Unreal requires the GNU version of the make utility.

Thanks going to give it a try

need help when trying to untar
( Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers )
what iam i doing wrong

I'm 99% sure you are trying to decompress a package inappropriately (you can't simply untar a .tar.gz file like that, you must use the 'z' option, too, like so: 'tar -zxf file.tar.gz'). For more information, see http://www.gzip.org/ -> How can I extract a tar.gz or .tgz file?

Or use gunzip

year ago never heard linux 3 days ago never heard of FreBSD
but got it running on shell 3.2.1 using a remote pro called putty thanks
