Installing on linux box

Ok, thanks for no help and stupid answers! (not all but the most) Cool

I am using now my old geforce2 and it works!
BUT only one little problem:

I see after the loading "awaiting snapshot..." all the time and nothing happens

Thanks for real help! :twisted: :twisted:

Well I'm not sure if this is so much advice as a suggestion, if you have issues configuring your GC in linux. Try different distributions theres some no brainers like Mepis that do most of the work for you. If I recall I just had to run synaptic package manager and check a box to get my geforce 4 running on that one. but check to see if the card works before updating as that may cause issues also.

Afternote: found this by googling "how to install radeon 9550 in linux".It was hard to track down. Tongue

Pretty much covers files required libraries needed supported distributions etc..

Hope it helps. Happy

I'm not sure if this has been covered, but for anyone wanting to know how to install quake on a linux box you will need this file, http://www.russty.net/stuff/QuakeIIIArena/linux%20install/linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

You need to set the file to 777 "read, wright, and execute" and run it in the terminal. The installer will begin. you also need to copy the entire contance of the baseq folder somewhere where you want the game to be installed.

Got any questions let me know...

<nitpick>777? You sure you want to do that? Tongue That would be read, write, and execute premission for the user, the group the file belongs to, and the world (anyone with access to the system) Big grin 755 would be smarter.... and hey, don't even have to do that, you can just issue the command: sh ./linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run
</nitpick>

Also, you don't copy the entire baseq3 directory from the Quake 3 CD. For a working Quake 3 install, you only need one file from the game CD. pak0.pk3
