Originally posted by LavaDevil94 give it disk 1 and see if that works, like the faq said.
Thats what im doing. Which disc to put in is not the problem. It will start to install and then will ask for me to mount the disc. I will then unmout then mount the disk but then the installer just sits there
Disabling supermount, the installer will not ask for me to mount the disc but the installer will start installing and then just sitter after it has copied a few files. Trying to mount unmount with the super mount disabled will just end up locking up the drive and then i will have to restart

i think it says in the faq that itll look like its just sitting there, but its actually working. you are decompressing over 1gb, after all so after you mount the other disk, leave it for awhile and see if that helps.

hmmmm
if that true im going to be very mad. The other thing is, when it looks like the installer isnt doing anything the cdrom also stops spinning.
I just installed UT2003 last night. had a few problems. Here is what I learned, maybe it will help.
UT2003 install start to finish (as I remember it)
copy the install shell script off the third cd to a temp directory
1) run ./linux_installer.sh
(if you get a permissions error you may need to chmod it, enter chmod +x linux_installer.sh)
2) when it prompts you to change cd's, put in disc 1 (that's the play disc)
3) pull up another terminal and un-mount the cdrom drive
umount /mnt/cdrom
(your command may be different)
4) mount the new cd, you may need to specify options
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom (from memory)
if you start getting errors you may need to turn off supermount, this can be done in fstab I think but I just used the mandrake control center, went into Mount Points, then CD/DVD, click options, then uncheck supermount. I think you may need to reboot)
5) After you install I think I've got the fix for you GLX error.
I had a similar problem after installing NVidia drivers off their website (the drivers that came off my distro recognized it as a Geforce 4 (generic) but didn't give me any acceleration. I installed them and then I couldn't run Tuxracer, chromium, etc. from the console I got a GLX error.
The solution I found was to remove a few files that the NVidia driver doesn't actually overwrite, and then reinstall the driver.
to remove files
rm /usr/lib/libGL*
rm /usr/local/lib/libGL*
then reinstall Nvidia drivers
run ldconfig
You may also need to update your /etc/XF86Config file
(note it may be XF86Config-4, you can tell by looking in /var/log/XFree86.0.log a few lines in where it says Using config file)
In the XF86Config file you need to have
Load "glx"
under the Section "Module"
you also need to change Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia" under Section "Device" if it is not already.
I think there is also one other line that may say dri or something that may need to be removed, that would be in the NVidia docs.

well, i guess its always worth a check. the big thing is that the open-source drivers dont support S3TC texture compression, which ut2003 desperatly needs. i heard that the latest ati drivers support it, though.
