Over at HL2 World, they’ve created a Half-Life 2 Wiki for a one stop information shop regarding Half-Life 2. I’ve created the Half-Life 2 Installation FAQ portion of the site, after my own experience with the install, and poor response from Vivendi support with my problem. They’ve since added my issue / resolution to their support site, and I’ve added items that they have posted into the FAQ as well. You can see the Installation section here, and let me know what you think / or if you have any suggestions / additions.
