First, are you installing the Linux version of UT2003 or are you trying to install through WineX?
Second, if you're installing the Linux version, are you getting stuck where it asks you for disk 1 (maybe some other number since the installer uses different numbers than what is printed on the disks)?
Lastly, are you running the install script from the cdrom folder? If so back up to the folder above cdrom and run the installer with 'sh cdrom/linux_setup.sh' or whatever the installer is called. It's been awhile since I've installed UT2003 but I read that many people wondered how to change disks during the install when they couldn't unmount the cdrom drive.

I am installing ut2003 for linux

I've copied the linux_installer.sh(from the 3rd cd) to my home/user folder and i ran it from there.

Plz help me!!

That's your problem. Dont copy linux_installer.sh from the cd but run it from the cd. As root:
'sh /mnt/cdrom/linux_installer.sh' where /mnt/cdrom is where your cdrom is mounted.
It should ask a few questions like where you want it installed and such.
When it asks for you to change CDs, type at a console:
'eject /mnt/cdrom' * Change CDs *
'mount /mnt/cdrom'

Like I said before, the installer will ask for a certain CD but the CDs are printed differently. You should put them in in this order: CD 3 (the one with linux_installer.sh), CD 1, CD 2, and maybe CD 3 again.

Just did that but it didn't work!

Here is what i got

(of course before the "mount: /dev .... the installer popped and told me where 2 install the game accepted and click begin)

I would like to say that i would like someone who uses mandrake 9.2 and have succesfully installed the game to help me step by step cause i am doin something wrong !!

Okay, go here for detailed instructions for Mandrake users.

Thans Nis! I'll check that out when i get back home in a couple of hours.Hope it helps!

It didn't work!!!

Damn!!

How can i install this great game in Linux???????????????????????????

Here is what i did step by step :

(1) Disabled supermount through MCC

(2) Rebooted

(3) mounted the 3rd cd and copied linux_installer.sh to my /home/user/ dirctory . After that i umounted the drive and inserted cd1 ( play disk ) without mounting it .

(4) opened a terminal , su root , and wrote " export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom2 "

(5) ./linux_installer.sh . I get this screen :
"
[root@localhost george]# ./linux_installer.sh

(6) choosed directory and clicked begin

(7) The installer works ok for a few seconds but afterwards it says (under base install)

" extras/ip_passthrough.pl " and it does nothing more . No hd action no cd reading nothing.

I have one dvd rom (plextor) mounted @ /mnt/cdrom2 and one cd recorder (mounted @ /mnt/cdrom) . My new fstab (after disabling supermount) is :

"

Plese someone help me ! It is really embarassing for me not 2 be able to play this great game!!

Do you have a floppy drive? /dev/fd0 is the usually device node for floppy drives but it might be diffrent on your system, e.g. /dev/floppy/fd0, maybe. Try removing
from your fstab and doing the installer again.

yes i do have a floppy. I'll try removing this line from fstab.

thanx anyway Nis!

Done that but it still stops @ the same point!!

I've installed the game in winxp so it works?

What could it be??

When i quit the installation (cancel) and then try to unmount the cdrom here is what i get :
"
[root@localhost george]# umount /mnt/cdrom2
umount: /mnt/cdrom2: device is busy
[root@localhost george]#
"

When i try to eject the cd :
"
[root@localhost george]# eject /mnt/cdrom2
umount: /mnt/cdrom2: device is busy
eject: unmount of `/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd' failed
[root@localhost george]#
"

Any clues?

Found something also interesting:

(1) Before running the installer i can mount / unmount the cdrom.After running the installer i cannot

(2) I inserted the 2nd cd in my drive , unmounted it , ran the installer and it still stops @ the same point. So i understand that it does not even read the cd !!!!

Gtk warnings? maybe its because you dont have gtk installed, or its too old. maybe you could check your rpm database and see if its installed? if not, install it.
