I'm trying to install UT2003 from the installation disks in Wine. It works fine for the first disk, but when the installation asks for disk two, I can't do anything about it!!! Wine is using my rom drive, so when I try to "eject /dev/hdd" I get the busy error of course "unmount: /dev/hdd: Drive is busy." How do I get around this???
Look on the root dir of the first CD, locate the linux install script.
Copy it to your ~/, cd ~/, execute the script (should already have +x permissions)
It will go through and install the game from all the CDs.
Hmm,
I installed UT2004 nativly on linux, I figured it was the same for 2003.
The UT2003 official website does not list Linux, but neither does the UT2004 site.
I have 2k3 and 2k4 @ home, I'd have to look.
I'm gonna do some googling and I'll edit this post if I find anything.

EDIT: Ahah! I LOVE Google!
The linux-installer.sh is on the 3rd disk, not the first.
Copy it to ~/, run it (pref as root) and it should install the game.

Still doesn't work using wine or the provided install script?
Make sure NOT to run the script from the CD, you'll wanna copy it somewhere (/tmp, ~/, et al) and then run it.
Then umount the cd, because the install script will most likely want the first CD to start with.
I had to restart. I think there was a bug in my compile... sometimes I cannot eject my cd rom bays (physically or software) without restarting. I was able to install, but there are big problems with my configuration: I have dual desktop setup, and I only want to play the game on one desktop. Yet when I start the game, it automatically fullscreens over both my desktops. I don't want that, it's a pain in my ass and the only way I can get around that is by making the game a window.
Stupid question about ejecting the CD drives, they have to be unmounted before they will eject.
Rebooting causes all devices to be unmounted during the shutdown process.
About the dual screen setup, afaik you will have to run it in windowed mode.
I haven't run dual screens in linux, so I'm not sure.
Sounds like you did get the game installed though?

snipish comments won't get you anywhere, username. yes, I'm aware that you can't eject a rom drive without unmounting it. As I've said, I believe I made an error by compiling my kernel such that whenever I try to unmount a rom drive (only occassionally does this happen, mind you) it will say
Code:
umount: /mnt/dvdwriter: not mounted
when I try to eject it will say "device is busy or still mounted"
mounting again reads:
Code:
mount: /dev/hdc already mounted
before you ask: yes, fstab and mtab both mount /dev/hdc to /mnt/dvdwriter.
haha, it's funny how simple some solutions are! I can play UT2003 on just my CRT now, without having to worry about the TV. How did I do it? I turned off my TV. It's that simple. When my video card did not detect my secondary monitor, it blew the game up fullscreen on my primary CRT display. Problem solved.
