ive been trying to do that and it seems like the guide that is on ubuntu guide.org is for 6.06 or something because i dont have any of the options they mention on it.also when i checked for the core fonts today i came across this
http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_...oft+core+fonts
now im not sure why but it seems like all of the times ive tried to install these there has been a problem.(?) and i got gstreamer from synaptic (it uninstalled totem.xine in order to do it) and unless i put a cd in the drive first it won't play any dvd's(when it does it says cdrom0 on the top of the totem player though)?as far as half life 2 im trying to use wine, but until i actually get the font installed correctly i cant do anything.according to this site hl2 and cs both are working with wine

when i tried to just install the game from the disks i did the first one and the drive wouldnt open so i couldn't change to the second cd.?is this problem solved by copying the msi's that was done in fedora?(even though it didnt work for me there either.)one last thing ive done is i went to the list of proprietary drivers from ati,here
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...ux-radeon.html
found the one compatible with my card downloaded it and now it cant be run.
gives me this error "Could not open the file/home/kyle/Desktop/ati-d…ler-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run".while trying to open(gedit was trying to run that) is there something else that should be opening it?also while on the synaptic manager i checked for source and instead of a check it has this(-)when i check that the box becomes empty.is there no way to get source enabled or if so why doesnt it have a check/uncheck?
while trying to config wine this is what the terminal spit out
wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\config.exe": Module not found
oh and the tahoma fonts i believe i have them on my system but i have no clue where they should be extracted to when i tried the fonts folder it gave me this
"Extraction not performed You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "/usr/share/fonts"." am i trying to extract them in the wrong place? what is the procedure for extracting/unloading rpm's and other files i downloaded to the system?
thanks to all who have any ideas.
