Mmmmm, thats why it dont work, i dont onw a quake2-cdrom.
This is confusing me a little: All these file that exist for linux (.deb  or/and  tgz
or tar.gz) are `just' files to make the quake2-cd for win95 work on linux too??
And what extra-file do i need ? pak0.pak ??   This
quake2-3.19a-glibc-i386-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz  file have `pak2.pak' inside .... it
dont work??




thanks...
