I have MDK 10.1 Official. I installed Quake 2 from icculus (however it's spelled) and that didnt' work so I used URPMI to install all the PLF Quake files and am still getting the same errros:

Any ideas?

Check out loki installers. They may have one for Quake 2. I'm at work and don't have the website bookmarked. I found a lot of installers for games in Linux and PC using Cedega.

Thanks for the help.

I did use a Loki installer. Still not working.

Do you have a default.cfg file or a config.cfg file??

"locate" does not find either file on my hard drive. What did I not do?

I have searched everywhere and no one's suggestions are working. Is there no one who has gotten Quake 2 to run on Mandrake?
