I use mandrake 9.2 and i tried 2 install ut2003 but i get the "please mount the xx cd rom" all the time. I've searched the site but i couldn't get the game 2 work whatever i did.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!
I AM TRYING TO INSTALL THE GAME FROM 11:30PM AND HERE IT IS 3 IN THE MORNING!
I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE HOW WAS THE SAM LINUX DISTRO AS I (MANDRAKE 9.2) TO WRITE DOWN THE EXACT STEPS ON HOW 2 INSTALL UT2003 !!!!!
First, are you installing the Linux version of UT2003 or are you trying to install through WineX?
Second, if you're installing the Linux version, are you getting stuck where it asks you for disk 1 (maybe some other number since the installer uses different numbers than what is printed on the disks)?
Lastly, are you running the install script from the cdrom folder? If so back up to the folder above cdrom and run the installer with 'sh cdrom/linux_setup.sh' or whatever the installer is called. It's been awhile since I've installed UT2003 but I read that many people wondered how to change disks during the install when they couldn't unmount the cdrom drive.
That's your problem. Dont copy linux_installer.sh from the cd but run it from the cd. As root:
'sh /mnt/cdrom/linux_installer.sh' where /mnt/cdrom is where your cdrom is mounted.
It should ask a few questions like where you want it installed and such.
When it asks for you to change CDs, type at a console:
'eject /mnt/cdrom' * Change CDs *
'mount /mnt/cdrom'
Like I said before, the installer will ask for a certain CD but the CDs are printed differently. You should put them in in this order: CD 3 (the one with linux_installer.sh), CD 1, CD 2, and maybe CD 3 again.

(of course before the "mount: /dev .... the installer popped and told me where 2 install the game accepted and click begin)
I would like to say that i would like someone who uses mandrake 9.2 and have succesfully installed the game to help me step by step cause i am doin something wrong !!

(3) mounted the 3rd cd and copied linux_installer.sh to my /home/user/ dirctory . After that i umounted the drive and inserted cd1 ( play disk ) without mounting it .
(4) opened a terminal , su root , and wrote " export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom2 "
(5) ./linux_installer.sh . I get this screen :
"
[root@localhost george]# ./linux_installer.sh

Mounted device /dev/hdd

(6) choosed directory and clicked begin
(7) The installer works ok for a few seconds but afterwards it says (under base install)
" extras/ip_passthrough.pl " and it does nothing more . No hd action no cd reading nothing.
I have one dvd rom (plextor) mounted @ /mnt/cdrom2 and one cd recorder (mounted @ /mnt/cdrom) . My new fstab (after disabling supermount) is :
Do you have a floppy drive? /dev/fd0 is the usually device node for floppy drives but it might be diffrent on your system, e.g. /dev/floppy/fd0, maybe. Try removing
Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto codepage=869,noauto,nodev,user,iocharset=iso8859-7,sync,nosuid,unhide,umask=0 0 0
When i quit the installation (cancel) and then try to unmount the cdrom here is what i get :
"
[root@localhost george]# umount /mnt/cdrom2
umount: /mnt/cdrom2: device is busy
[root@localhost george]#
"
When i try to eject the cd :
"
[root@localhost george]# eject /mnt/cdrom2
umount: /mnt/cdrom2: device is busy
eject: unmount of `/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd' failed
[root@localhost george]#
"
Any clues?

(1) Before running the installer i can mount / unmount the cdrom.After running the installer i cannot
(2) I inserted the 2nd cd in my drive , unmounted it , ran the installer and it still stops @ the same point. So i understand that it does not even read the cd !!!!

Rep:
Gtk warnings? maybe its because you dont have gtk installed, or its too old. maybe you could check your rpm database and see if its installed? if not, install it.
