The original Q3A pk3 files. I just found it annoying that having the
OA pk3 files around (in /usr/local/share/openarena) means that when
playing Q3A some of the textures are replaced with OA alternatives.
Maybe there's a workaround for this, haven't looked that far yet.

Have not tried the sparc64 client as I don't have video out on my
Netra. I was merely considering it for a server. However, it turns out
that I'm an idiot - I was running the server on my i386 machine when I
thought I was logged into the sparc64. Upon closer inspection, sparc64
does *not* run the server. It loads fine, but when you try to start a
game, it receives signal 10 (SIGBUS, as far as I can tell) which I
think means that it does some unaligned memory access.
Still trying to get a server running properly...
