0.1D Linux Server readme (few things changed :P)

> Change the permissions on vcmp.bin and announce.bin to execute
> Configure the ini (remember to change admin(rcon) password)
> Run './vcmp.bin config.ini' to start the VC-MP server.
> Please don't run as root.

if you still have problems, sometimes its the config file...

u must open it in a linux text editor (vi,pico,nano,etc) and make some insignificant change to the file, then save and overwrite it.  sometimes if the config has been edited in a windows text editor last, linux won't see its formatting properly and this can cause the server to not run.  good luck ^^

I edited my config file earlier with the editor of WinSCP (i was too lazy to download the config to my pc and then upload it back to the host), so it may have caused problems. Everything seemed fine, expect the server just didnt start ::)

What bothers me, is that i edited the config file with windows notepad, when i was testing the linux server. Althought the file seemed pretty weird with no actual lines or spaces, the notepad-modified config worked.

Thanks for the idea, thought, im gonna test using a linux editor after my host gets back online :)
