Hi s. Thanks for the reply.

I think you're right, the unr.uz files must be uncompressed. I went to D. 
Olsons' web site, where he has a nice UT tutorial. I grabbed a different 
installer from the link there, one that actually has GOTY in its name. I 
tried it with both of my copies of UT (one is GOTY and the other is Best of 
Infogrames). This time, it did ask for the 2nd CD (the other 436 script did 
not). BTW, the GOTY version supports a 2nd CD-ROM, if you have one.
I followed his tutorials' instructions exactly, applying the chmod and 
running it as ./. I also tried it with sh . Same difference, AFAICT...

What does not happen though, in my open terminal window, is all the scrolling 
messages about the files being uncompressed - when the installer dialog boxs' 
indicator bar is nearly to the end. It just quits, says that the game was 
successfully installed, and to start it with ut. My terminal window does 
finish with this though:

[root@darkforce darklord]# ./ut-install-436-GOTY.run
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing Unreal Tournament version 436-GOTY Linux 
install.
ERROR: No matching delta for /usr/local/games/ut/System/UTMenu.u

I'm at a loss here. Does anyone have any idea why my setup won't uncompress 
the files that UT needs?

Thanks.

 Anyone have any experience with this? I did several searches on
