Quake 2 on Knoppix - anybody got instructions?

[Dave_Bechtel]

--I tried to set this up for a friend of mine (hd-install) but it keeps saying "no such file or directory" when we try to run it. README has been followed, chmod and chown done, ldconfig... Tried everything I could think of.

--Only thing I can theorize at this point is that since the files are from '98 it's looking for a 2.0 kernel or different library system (we tried the glibc tar.gz.)

--Should we try the libc5 stuff, or is there something we're missing here??

You could try MORPHIX - they've got Quake 3 Arena and lots more games on their game module.

Enjoy,

--Thanks, but this is for a friend who has lots of low-end machines (p200 with 64 MB RAM usually - some boxes don't even have 2Meg video cards, and they're all PCI) and wants to run a cheap LANfest over 10Mb Ether.

I done a brief Quake2 how-to ages ago, and posted in here somewhere:
