You guys are trying to claim it's easy, yet you have to know all these tricks or secret locations for automated installs.

You surely can't believe I wrote that quake install do you? Of course not, I went to some Linux gamers site, and those were the instructions given.

Same with the official Firefox process - it came straight from their website.

So while you accuse me of not knowing what to do, you're actually blowing your very own argument to tiny bits! LMAO and fuuniest of all you didn't even realize it!!!

Because we've actually used a modern distro of Linux rather than just guessing.

Of course not. No one here has ever claimed that you have any technical ability whatsoever.

...I went to some Linux gamers site, and those were the instructions given.

Rather than using a modern distro and using the tools provided on that distro.

There is a difference between a generic install process that will work with any Linux distro, no matter how obscure or how stripped down, and an install process that is available on a modern desktop distro. Not that you'd know.

No, we're just showing that you have no idea at all what you are talking about, as per usual.

Hmmm so the man who once complained about me referencing 'some hacker web site' is now using Linux gaming sites as reference? The site knite pulled down. Shadow is right you looked for the worst instructions out there. The first link in a google search of 'Quake2 setup Linux' yielded this:

" RPMs, new Solaris packages available - Wednesday, December 4, 2002

Thanks to Vincent Cojot (Solaris) and Fabrice Colin (RPMs) we now have Solaris binaries and i386 RPMs available. Check out Downloads " http://icculus.org/quake2/#download simple binary install found with a simple google search..

I do hope you keep this up everyone here can see how desperate you are to twist the truth in this matter..

Tricks? Secret locations? Are you nuts? From a default install of Mepis 3.3:

Just to reiterate, Synaptic is the point and click program installer for Debian. It's crazy that they would hide a "secret" location like that right there on one of the start submenus. Those crazy people, trying to keep us from learning their operating system. Sheesh.

"You surely can't believe I wrote that quake install do you? Of course not, I went to some Linux gamers site, and those were the instructions given. Same with the official Firefox process - it came straight from their website. "

Well, Mepis has it's own website that tells me how to install stuff. Works great, too. I'll just keep using that, rather than listen to an ignorant oaf, who, with agenda in hand, sets out to find the most complicated, convoluted instructions to make it seem like Linux is next to impossible.

Earth to Turkey. You might as well have stated the application install procedure for 0S/2 or Amiga. It doesn't apply to my system. I figured that out long ago, but you're obviously too dense to clue in, because you don't want to.
