installing ut2004

[Maikel]

Hello, I have ut2004 editors choice ed. and I cant seem to get it installed. I pop the dvd in and double clik the "linux-installer.sh" then a little window pops up and I choose "run", "run in term." and "display" but none of them do anything. Ive done a few searchs but no one else really has the problem. All Ive found is how easy it is to install, lol. Is there anything else Im missing? Im not sure what to do next.

Hello:
It's been a while since I installed UT2004, however, here goes. Pop in you dvd and it should automount ? Then just copy the file linux-installer.sh from the disc to your home directory.
Then open up a terminal as a user [not as root] cd /home/username and run linux-installer.sh
As I said it's been a while so if this does not work post back as I am sure there is other ways to do it.

The run command in terminal didnt work for me but then I just tried to double click it and it opened the installer. So all I had to do was copy the installer to my HD and now its doing its thing. Thanks Seve

You tried using sh linux-installer.sh.

is this only with the editors choice ed or is linux supported under the standard edition ?

Hello:
Linux is un-officallly supported under all the editions.That being said, you will find the linux installer [linux-instlaller.sh] on the standard UT2004 disc that you purchased. :)

Hm. I have the 2-Disc DVD edition (not editors choice), and when I try to install it, it gives me an error about how it is unable to mount the 'Play CDROM'

It will open up the little GUI, but when I enter in my CD key, and it starts installing, it keeps telling me how the CDROM won't mount. WTF?

Hello:
Pop the dvd in and copy the linux-installer.sh file to your /home/username folder
then unmount the dvd
then open a terminal as a user and
cd /home/username
then type
sh linux-installer.sh
enter and follow the instructions

Well, that makes great sense, but even after unmounting it, it did not work. It still gives me that error.

You trying to install on FC5? You will have to export the environment variable SETUP_CDROM or some such, to the actual mountpoint. Like so:


export SETUP_CDROM=/media/<the_mount_point>; sh /media/<the_mount_point>/linux-installer.sh

That should force the installer to look at the provided path for origin CD. Alternatively you can create the /media/cdrecorder directory and re-mount the DVD to that, and procede as usual, ohh... And by the way, you *may* require to make an entry for that in /etc/fstab, like so:
Disclaimer: The following fstab line is my own, you will have to substitute /dev/hd? with your actual device!

/dev/hdg /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,user,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Once you are done, either comment out or remove that line from fstab, otherwise you will have major problems when mounting CD/DVD media again!!!
