How do I setup a dedicated savage server?

Where are the files to edit. I have a pretty nice box located in Texas for another week or so and want to get one of these suckers up. I'm sure it can handle 48 players easy. Just need to know which files to edit, etc.

Help, suggestions, or comments.
Heck I'll even name it TeamWareFare.com
this game is a Bandwidth HOG.
I have 2 servers running the demo ( i dont have teh retail yet ).
US1 216.53.191.41 is a 40 player box..pulling down near 5Megs of continous traffic.. it peaked at 4.8Meg twice now.
US3 66.103.142.42 is a 32 player box pulling over 2 meg continous.

The game is Kool...but, the code seems sloppy....these BW requirements make BF1942 look like childs play.

To make a server:

Edit your autoexec.cfg file to resemble basically:
Originally posted by: autoexec.cfg

exec /settings/default_playerkeys.cfg
exec /settings/default_gfxsettings_med.cfg
exec /settings/default_vidsettings.cfg
exec /settings/userkeys.cfg
exec playerkeys.cfg
exec commander_keys.cfg
exec /settings/profile.cfg
exec /settings/user_sound_options.cfg
exec /settings/user_graphics_options.cfg
exec /settings/user_clgraphics_options.cfg
exec /settings/user_tlgraphics_options.cfg
exec /settings/user_network_options.cfg
exec /settings/set_options.cfg
exec /server_details.cfg
exec /rotation.cfg


Create a server_details.cfg in the /savage/game direction and put this in (change items where neccessary):

set dedicated_server 1
set svr_name "]CkB[Cabal kaBob - TWL Match"
set default_world alpinevalley
set svr_maxclients 24
set sv_allowGuestReferee 0
set sv_refereePassword refpwd
set sv_readyPercent 0.50
set sv_minPlayers 2
set sv_autoRespawn 1
set svr_password
set sv_doWarmup 1
set sv_warmupTime 15000
set svr_sendStats 0
set svr_broadcast 1
set svr_port 11237
set sv_clientVoteTime 15
set sv_balancedTeams 0
Pardon my n00bness, but when I attempt to start the dedicated server on my linux box I get back this error message.

grep: /root/.savage/startup.cfg: No such file or directory
Your startup.cfg doesn't include dedicated_server 1!

I simply installed the game, and followed the basic instructions on modifying the autoexec and rotation cfgs.

I've done a little searching but it seems support for dedicated servers is scarce.

Thanks for any help.
