Something about having a space in the filename seemed to cause a problem with cp. Midnight Commander did it ok, though.

Hmmm...now I can mount it, but I can't copy files from it. There's this "The Dig Data" file that's about 600 megs and I need to copy it to my hard drive for it to be useful. Tried dragging and...

Fixed my problem. Thanks so much! Remember, people like y'all are helping to pu Linux on the desktop.

Ok...I can mount my DVD drive just fine with any other disc just by typing # mount /dev/hdc /cd1

I want to play The Dig in ScummVM, but it's a Macintosh CD-ROM. Attempting to mount it:

Ahh...found a .deb. That fixed it. Thanks for replying!

Actually, the reason I'm installing it is that I want to get rid of it! See, I use MEPIS and I unchecked the option to install guarddog, but it sorta half-installed it anyway. I figure if I can...

Using KDE 3.1.5, trying to install guarddog firewall so I can configure iptables easily.

I'd fix this myself if I knew what a prefix was...running Debian unstable, configure fails at:

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed....

Lucky for me High Point U runs Linux in their CS computer labs. The CS profs are geeky enough to know what's going on all the way down to assembler (perhaps beyond), but have the social skills (it...

So I'm at High Point University yesterday for my interviews for the Presidential Scholarship competition. I go into my first interview and sit down. I am greeted by two students and a natively French...

Well, I reboot to Windows for AA, but on my old video card SF maps wouldn't load and the game would crash out to the desktop. I think the problem was the amount of video memory. Don't expect to play...

You're gonna need a new motherboard to get a P4. I have a P4 1.7 and I love it, but I've heard that AMD's offerings are just as good and cost less. If you know what you're looking for and how much it...

I'm trying to play ET after just re-installing Linux and now it can't contact the master game server. I can ping the server with my ping command, but it won't work in ET. The console says this:

If you can find it, get the original from the bargain bin. The graphics aren't as good, but it's way cooler and lots more fun IMO. When I say original, I mean late 90's, not early 80's.

The...

Anyone been able to find one for KDE 3.1? Hopefully 3.1 and 3.2 will be assimilated sometime.

Get "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" from your library. I checked it out about a week ago and I love it.

Ok...I just did an apt-get upgrade and then rebooted. Start up my 2.4.22 MEPIS box and both my DVD drive and CD burner have dropped out of my /dev directory. When I start KDE, ARTS can't find...

I'm on KDE 3.1.4 in Debian and my screensavers aren't coming up at the appointed time. Actually, they're not coming up at all. I don't know if it has to do with a new program or upgrade interfering...

Thanks alot, bud. That solved the problem.

royall@0[royall]$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/sof
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 24 2004-01-01 15:25 /usr/local/bin/sof -> /usr/local/games/sof/sof
royall@0[royall]$

I copied and pasted that into my normal user console. It prints a blank line.

I fixed it! a simple
$ export SOF_DATA_PATH=/usr/local/games/sof
solved my problem. Thanks for the reply, though.

Are you sure it's frozen? Under WinXP with my P4 1.7, Steam still takes *forever* sometimes just to launch a game, even longer to update it. Give it some time.

I opened it up, but I don't really program worth a hoot so I have no idea what most of it means. My game is installed in /usr/local/games/sof, which is the default directory. I've tried running the...

So I'm trying to play Soldier of Fortune (uber-violence rules), a Quake II based shooter from Loki. I'm running MEPIS (Debian, I suppose) and I installed it as root without a hitch. I used to play it...
