What I did was run the installer script and tell it to install into /usr/local/games/quake3. Worked fine for me. I ran it as root, though, so I'm not 100% positive that it didn't put something somewhere else. I'm fairly certain it didn't, though, since I've backed up /usr/local and restored it onto a fresh install and everything still worked fine. I'm probably missing the KDE/GNOME menu entries, but I never launch it from the menu anyway. (Tangentially, I tend to launch hardly anything from the menu.) I'm running plain-old Debian. Note that you'll probably need to futz around with the X configuration. You'll also need to install the proper GL library for your video card. (Mine, for example, is a Voodoo 3 2000, so in my case I installed the libglide3 Debian package.) If you have problems determining which library you need, reply with the name of your video card and someone should surely have the answer. There's some other stuff you might need to do, too, assuming your distribution hasn't set it up for you already; check Time's how-to document pages for more info. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin Attachment:
