Don't give up! I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you; I'm not a Mandrake user. However, I'm sure there is someone out there who can explain how to install this game. One thing you could consider is asking people over at icculus.org. The guy who set up that site, icculus, made the UT2003 linux installer when Loki was still around. He might be able to diagnose exactly what is going on. You could also try asking in the Mandrake forum here as well. Just mention that you've tried following that guide I pointed at earlier and your post in the Linux - Games forum wasn't getting results. Many LQ users stick to a couple forums and the one that has your answer could be in there. :)

When I used Mandrake... I had much better luck copying the cds to harddrive... and using the export to specify the path to the harddrive location of the cd's i copied...

Try this

in your hom directory make a ut2003 directory. make three folres called 1, 2 & 3. And copy each disc to its relative cd.

Put the SH script in your home directory. Now move all the file from folder 1 in the UT2003 directory up a level to ut2003 directory (i use the gui during this process it is quicker than toggling between terminals.. you will see why in just a sec.

now... open the terminal
excute this

export SETUP_CDROM=/home/username/ut2003/
sh ut2003*(whatever the setup file is called)

whenever you are prompted to insert the next cd... You need to mv the files from the ut2003 directory (excluding the 1,2,3 foldes) to their numbered folder.. and mv the correct cd files up a level.

This worked for me in Mandrake with all games i have tried... Neverwinter Nights.. UT, UnrealGold, Ut2003... I had to do it like this.. if i tried with the cd i got the same thing you desrcibe

Can you tell me more about this.
mv is rename right?
write a detailed plan, cos that would be good :)

Hi Braveheart.

First of all, my heart is with you. I experienced exactly the same problems as you do - with ut2003 under Suse9. A quick hack around this ugly bug in the installer seems to be to uncomment or remove all devices in fstab that are user mountable ("user") EXCEPT the one of your preferred installation drive. Weirdos. My installation is running a the moment. Let's see where it takes us ...

Cheers,

Rouven Sacha

Braveheart1980 01-27-2004 05:30 PM

I've tried editing my fstab so the only devices r my 2 hard drives and only those ( i have deleted the mount lines for my dvd rom and my cd recorder) but it didn't work. I was wondering : can i download another version of he installer from somewhere? Any help or a guide of some lucky guy who installed ut2003 in mandrake 9.2 would be DEEPLY appreciated!!!!

LavaDevil94 01-27-2004 05:45 PM

you could try to copy only the installer off the cd, and leave the data on the cds for extraction by the installer, which would be on your harddrive.
