Re: [newbie] enemy territory
Go here http://www.gentoogames.com/ and you can download iso images for Enemy Territory and America's Army. Give them to your Windows using friends. They will boot up into a minimal Linux environment with a Blackbox Window Manager to run the game in. They will not write anything to the hard drive so they will not damage a windows installation. The game files can be copied to Mandrake quite successfully. The Gentoo CDs require an Nvidia graphics card. Not sure about which network connections it handles. It works fine with my direct Ethernet. Personally I think ET is great and way better than America's Army. derek On Monday 01 Sep 2003 1:13 pm, Xuer wrote: Enemy Territory is about 270M and totally free.

It installed correctly on the oldest one (900mhz Athlon) using Mandrake d/l edition v9.0. It would not install on Mandrake v9.0 boxed set on 1, and Mandrake d/l edition v9.1 on another. Doesn't seem to be anything common there, does it? Anyways, I got around it - I used NFS and copied the installed directory from the machine it installed on over to the other 2.
