I am OK Jan, and there is already a /tutorial/README file.

We should just add some lines :

[
If you installed the tutorial via a binary package of a linux distribution, it 
is likely that some tutorial will require root privilege to work on data 
files. In that case, verify your user have write access to /tutorial/data 
directories and files .

A good way to proceed anyway is to make a personal copy of the tutorial with 
your regular user, thus you will have the appropriate rights and will be safe 
to hack tutorial code without damaging original files...

Some tutorials need level data created by prior execution of game_skel-1.py

To start, go in your tutorial directory and type "python ./basic-1.py", and 
then <Ctrl-C> from the console to terminate the soya script.
]

Or something like that (not fluent in english).

I will not do anything specific for Mandriva, but will wait upstream README 
modification. So to be clear, I do nothing more from my side.
