Hi!
I have installed UT2004 on linux, but I used an NTFS partition for the installation directory due to lack of diskspace. Now I have the problem that Linux (Linux Mint 16 KDE in my case) doesn't allow executables on NTFS partitions - a .sh file, in this case. I have read in this article that you can edit your /etc/fstab file and add execution rights (I take it it works the same with Linux Mint). However, when I opened my fstab file, there is no mention of my NTFS partitions. This is strange, as I have checked the NTFS partitions for automount in the KDE system settings. I took it as evident that that software was merely a frontend for manipulating the fstab tables, but maybe there's more to it. Now I don't know where to do what...

so which version of unreal tournament did you install the windows or linux version? I am only guessing at this but if it is the windows version I think that you might be able to use wine maybe?

It's the Linux version, NOT an .exe file. In fact, the installer, linux-installer.sh, could not be executed on NTFS, but I managed to install the game by moving the installer onto a Linux partition. Now I'm stuck with the NTFS partition, though, as the main program (ut2004) is there.

check if script has exec permission or invoke with sh script.sh; check if partition doesn't have noexec flag
