I think this fixes a few problems with QuakeII. >Make sure the pak files are then readable by your user. >My RPM sets up a menu entry under Games. Use that or run 'quake2' or >'sdlquake2' from /usr/local/games/quake2. I noticed that after I ran the .rpm file. However, it would be nice to write a readme file of your own that states what to do and how to do it. I read through the README and readme.txt files and they left me a little 'baffled', but I overcame that and had fun fragging a few last night. Thank you for your efforts and making my day a little more 'Quakey'.
