The wget for the SteamInstall.exe didn't work for me either. I searched "SteamInstall.exe" in google and found a different copy. This is the one I used, and for sheer convince I have linked it here. I swear this is the last thing I need to say. I think. .... other than The Dark Knight really was a good movie... I just watched it like hours ago. Sold out 12:01 show. It was pretty sweet.

I found my solution by typing this into a terminal... It is ment to be run in a script, but I did it manually for fun i guess. # Gets the required font Tahoma.ttf and places it in the correct directory wget http://mcinroy.org/steam/tahoma.ttf cp tahoma.ttf ~/Desktop/ cp tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ Here is that site as well http://mcinroy.org/2007/08/22/install-steam-in-ubuntu-using-wine-bash-script/ OH yea, I also had a problem with this site’s font archive… I found my solution by typing this into a terminal… It is ment to be run in a script, but I did it manually for fun i guess.

I have a dual screen setup on my Bunty 8.04 setup and the CSS install gets confused with the dusl screen total size, and standard CS will only run in a window. HOWEVER, such amazing progress since the last time I tried the Steam games on Linux. Give it another year, I can see all games running nicely. :) Steam loads a treat.
