how can i install unreal tournament in mandrake?

[Stogierogy]

i have a copy of U.T. on my win2k/ME drive. i also have linux mandrake on the same box on a seperate drive. i have the disc but how would i go about installing it in mandy 8.0??? do i HAVE to use wine??? ive never attempted to do this, nor have i installed drivers for my asus v6600 in linux. im sure im gonna have to struggle and get the nvidia drivers and edit files and what not. (which sounds confusing for a newbie kinda)

ok, so my question/s are these:
1.how would i go about installing UT for linux? (simplest please)
2." " nvidia drivers, and are they needed?? im guessing drivers are needed to utilize the chipset of course.

i also heard there might be a patch to run it off a windows partiton. problem is i have win2k set up as NTFS. does that matter? thanx for any help in my quest to start weeding out windows.

Goto http://www.lokigames.com look for there Unreal Tourney section. Loki created an installer that uses your original Windows version for all the graphics/textures and it also installs a ported version of the Unreal executable making unreal run native on Linux! No need to use wine. I am currently running Unreal Tourney GOTY on SuSE 7.2 but it should work just the same on Mandrake. BTW you need either a card like a Voodoo 3 with glide support installed or NVidia GF with open gl. Some others will work but these are the best supported.

also look for info at planetunreal.com they have tons of sites and a couple dedicated to linux UT. the file is kinda big I think 6mb and you can even download teh linux ut server in at 120mb. going from memory so give or take a gig. lol

wine isn't really meant for games yet, I think.

check out evil3d.net for installing nvidia's drivers. They have some good how-to's there along with info on installing different games in linux.
