Thanks guys. super. I'll look at those links and see if I can figure it out.

I did actually start up Quake II yesterday (in Linux), but the game was barely moving. not possible to play...

If you like Quake,check out Openarena:

Happy fragging!!.

Try World Of Padman. You need Linux Full Installer v1.1 and Linux Patch Installer v1.2. I played it and it's very nice game. Because I haven't a gamepad I usually finished killed by someone I didn't even saw.

Quake 2 installation problems -

I don't have permissions.... You see, a quake2 folder, or several quake folders were created when I unsuccessfully tried to install quake2 yesterday. Now I wanna follow this instruction; http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/ins...e-2-on-ubuntu/ - but then I get messages like "directory already exists". And I can't delete it, because I "don't have permissions". I tried some sudo stuff in the terminal, but that didn't help. How can I show Linux that I am actually admin and can delete what I want...?

---------------------------oh!......................update:

Now I can play Quake 2 OK. Though not on a higher resolution than 800x600, because then there's a sound problem. I wonder, the only way I can run the game is by diving into \home\q2\program files\ID Software\Quake 2 and doubleclick the quake2.exe file. I made a link (shortcut) and put it on the desktop, but that wouldn't work. How should it be done?

oh wow! Now it's working on 1024x768. It's like magic.....

Eh, no....... there's a sound problem. + Linux tends to collapse when I try to Quake.. :-/
