I finally found my CD to reinstall this game. I found the case (and CD Key) but no disc. Anyways I got it to work. I copied /media/Quake III/baseq3/pak0.pak to /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pak. Then I extracted the point release as root and let it install. It went through without a problem. I ran the game as root once to see if it would play and it did. I tried running the game as a user and it also did. Here's the output from my user play. Maybe you can see something that is causing it to fail on your end. The only think I noticed on yours was that it's not scanning pak0.pak file. Mine shows it scanning it. Yours did not. ??
