I am trying to run Quake 2 under Mandrake Linux 5.3 with Kernel 2.2.3.

It keeps giving me an error Cannot find pic/colormap.pcx. There is no =
directory PIC.

Where do I find it?

When I tried to run a different Quake2 RPM, I was told I needed =
libglide2x=85.rpm Where can I get this?



MODEMS

I am using Kppp to dial with my modem. It is found, but it keeps hanging =
on "Setting speaker Volume".=20

The Mini-Terminal and minicom finds it. It is NOT a winmodem. The Query =
Modem for Kppp finds the modem.

Why does it hang trying to set the volume on the modem?

The modem is a Jumpered US Robotics 56K board.=20

Thanks=85

Peter

ok, with quake2, ive seen that problem b4 in winblows, but i cant remember
how to fix it... the file it specifies is actually internal to one of the
files in your /baseq2 directory
from memory, i think it might be a video problem :-\

For the libglide you can get the glide drivers from www.download.com and type
in "linux" in the search. You'll get 4 pages of Linux goodies including the
drivers  -  those are for the Voodoo2, right?


As far as the pic/colormap.pcx - I think that is from trying to run the SVGAlib
version under X.
In the documentation it states the command line for starting which server under
each circumstance.
Checkout www.linuxquake.com too.
