Installing Unreal Tournament 2004 on Linux

Linux rave

I saw the boxed version of UT 2004 at Best Buy and noticed there is a small penguin logo on the cover itself!  Also Linux is listed in the supported operating systems note.  How cool.  I bought the box on the spot to support Epic for their Linux support.  I'd encourage other Linux fans to do the same, when you can.

Install

The box has 2 DVDs (nice!).  Insert the first DVD and there is a linux_installer.sh right on the root directory.  Again a nice surprise.  Just type
    ./linux_installer.sh
as root and follow the prompts.

I ran into a problem when the script kept asking 'specify CD1 location'.  I solved it by
    export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom
and then running the installer.
