how can i install unreal tournament in mandrake?

Stogierogy · 09-04-01, 10:49 AM

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.

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