I didn't think it was free. So what exactly are you trying to distribute?

karsten · 2007-01-22 00:09:51

its an installer for it, you need the cd.

I think he wrote a PKGBUILD to install the DVD content in an "Arch friendly" way. (With the background that the linux installer apparently isn't available on every edition of the UT2k4 DVD)

exactly.. its reads the files and installs it according to Arch. how do i get pacman to not die?? thanks..

You'll have to excuse my ignorance here... what's the point of a PKGBUILD to repackage an already packaged installer? Why don't you write a UT2004_installer.sh and PKGBUILD that?

edit: seems to work, something to do with the chroot /swap

the new dvd's of this dont include the installer for linux anymore. installing it is a PITA due to it originally being 5cd's and then a dvd. automounting etc.. i spose a .sh might be a good idea.

Out of curiosity, have you tried the ut2004 installer from the Loki Installers for Linux Games project?
