Yet another unreal tournament installation problem
 
So far, my install process has been full of errors.

I've read every thread I can find on the topic, and have managed to resolve almost all of them. The only problem that remains is that when I try to switch to Disc 1 ( yes, I know it is really Disc 2 ), the installer just mounts it, unmounts it, and tells me to insert the disk.

If any one has any ideas of how to get this to work, or ( far better ) know of a third party installer, please please please please do tell!

Many thanks,
Andrew

I did not understand how you are trying to install the game :(. I suppose you are trying using the installer shipped into Unreal's 3rd disk right?. Well, open a terminal, and from anywhere, type:

mount /mnt/cdrom/

To mount, then specify the path to the installer OUTSIDE the cdrom directory. Let's say you are at your home, then type:

sh /mnt/cdrom/linux_installer.sh

That would do it. Just unmount the CD when you are asked for another disk (unmount /mnt/cdrom).

Again, I did not understand your problem, but most peoples have problem switching disks, because they are at the cd rom directory, and that's why they cannot unmount it.

Good luck! :)

try copying your installer script to your home directory. then at the terminal type:
SETUP=/dev/scd0
or whatever your cd device is. eg. /dev/sr0.../dev/cdrom...etc.
(check your /etc/fstab file to see exactly what it is)

Then run the installer script from your home dir. sh linux_installer.sh
