[/url] also i cant find the beta in a .tar.gz anywhere. You have to install the beta 1 installer first, then use the loki update from there. You can download the beta 1 installer from here. It works great with SS:TFE CD. It should install right off the CD with no problems. http://icculus.org/updates/ssam/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHattr Posted June 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 my problem was that it was not working with my cd? click on the link i added im not sure if my copy of serious sam is the retail one that the installer was made for. It was one of those value ones it was like 14 bucks. I already have the datafiles thats why i was woundering if there was a .tar.gz that had all the files i needed or if there was a way to get the install to just install the files i need but skip copying the data files from the cd.

MadHattr Posted June 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 what do i type to export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom i just checked the console and found this? mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist im guessing it doesnt know where my cdrom is.

Ric Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 before typing sh ssam.... in the console try typing export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom or /mnt/wherever/your/cdrom/is then do your normal sh ssam..... hope that helps, Ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just being a pot-smoking lazy-ass. I don't remember what it was that I helped you out with, and I never expected anyone to remember the exact date on which I helped them... It's... Scary.

Ric Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 im just a stalker, Hey there. I really hate WineX now. I want NATIVE Linux games, so I don't plan to do much work on my WineX tutorial. However.... I would be interested if you could copy-paste me the output (errors) so I could see if it's something I have encountered before. I will find the WineX RPM for you now. Lemme go look. ... I clicked the link, and it started downloading the file, so it should work for you. Use a download manager like NT or someting. http://mdkxp.by-a.com/rpm/winex-cvs-200502-1.i586.rpm You will probably also need a program to generate your ~/.wine/config file. Here is my home site, and you can find winesetuptk.rpm in my list of RPMs: Hope it works for you. -- D. Olson The Mandrake eXPerience http://mdkxp.by-a.com/ MUB-NWN http://nwn.by-a.com/ WinXP - the best thing since induced vomitting. its being sitting in my email archive for a year, ohh how I look back on those days when http://mdkxp.by-a.com/ still worked and u didnt have to route round the keyboard for the ~ sign that has rubbed off.

DOlson Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Yeah. Well, I've been considering closing the site. I have lost all motivation since Afrosheen's server moved and disappeared from the Net. I do a lot of work on other sites now, such as LinuxHardware.org, LinuxGaming.net, and such. Plus I'm looking for a job. The final nail in the coffin is icculus.org's server has disabled some part of PHP that I need... Well, and I don't use Mandrake anymore (which is fine, except...) and my wife's PC has died, which is what I would run Mandrake on to do my tutorials. Well, I hope you can understand where I'm coming from... I don't have money to pay for hosting and a domain name, and I can't rely on free rides anymore. They just aren't reliable. My own server here has only got a DSL connection, and it's still capped right now, plus my connection isn't stable. Anyhow, I do remember writing that to you now. :) Take care. EDIT: yeah, I posted the final news item today. No sense prolonging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
