you need cloop ... get it from here

http://www.knopper.net/download/knoppix/

 

% wget http://www.knopper.net/download/knoppix/cloop_0.66-1.tar.gz

% tar xzf cloop_0.66-1.tar.gz

% cd cloop-0.66

% vi Makefile // Insert APPSONLY=1 at the top section

% make zcode

% make extract_compressed_fs

% cd ..

 

then

/path/to/extract_compressed_fs /path/to/livecd.cloop > /path/to/huge.iso

this will make a huge iso image (about 1.4gig)

then you can mount the iso

mount -o loop /path/to/huge.iso /mnt/tmp

cp -R /mnt/tmp/opt/armyopts170 /opt

 

now you're done !!!

Hey, if anyone wants it I have an icon for Americas Army. I copied it from a windows install and made it into a png. If anyone wants it, here you go:

Don't just copy the iso to a cd, check the menus of k3b, one of them says: burn iso.

Then point at your iso, and start the burn.

[Guest upuaut]

Thanks aRTee,

 

that works for me :lol:

 

But when I start the cd gentoo is running a while and then I get a x-server error

 

Have Fun!

then you will have to get the livecd.cloop file off the cd, then extract it using cloop as is detailed in this thread by Paul.

It's better that way you can run it in mandrake without all the rebooting.

I had the same problems with the LiveCD, if you want some instructions on how to get the data off the CD, check my website. I have compiled all the info from this thread and the other one on Gentoo Forum, and made a little Tutorial on how to extract the game from the CD. I am still creating the site right now but the info there will help you out.

upuaut;

 

Follow the above directions. If your having a hard time understanding how to follow them, then try going to my website. I have pretty much the same thing, but you might understand it better if the layout is different ?

I hope you this more clearer for you :)

It's hard for a dump like me

 

I download the cloop file from knoppix. And I extract it.

 

$cd cloop-0.68

$vi Makefile //and insert APPSONLY=1 at the top section

 

Than it seems that a little program (editor) starts in my console. But I think it's not finishing. The last line is:

compressed_loop.o create_compressed_fs.o:compressed_loop.h

 

Thats all. On the left side of the bottom I can see a "68,1" and the word "END".

I can't say:

$make zcode

$make extract_compressed_fs

 

I don't know why. I can leave the console only by closing the window. It seems that the little editor is still running.......

 

Sorry, but I've tried.................

You have to exit vi...

 

Press Esc, type in :wq and then hit Enter.

[Cannonfodder]

upuaut,

 

vi Makefile

 

vi - this is a text editor program.

Makefile - this is a text file to be edited

 

You do not have to use vi if you prefer another editor. Inside vi, position the cursor on second line, and type the letter i for (insert). Then type APPSONLY=1. Then hit the esc key. Now press the colon key : and type wq and press return. This means write/quit.
