quake / quakeforge
 

I downloaded quake2 and quakeforge files using URPMI but can't seem to get it working. Any ideas?

I get the following error

[paul@localhost games]$ quake2

It can't find your Quake 2 directory/data. Make the directory and files accessible to it by changing the permissions and making sure the program knows where to look.
