Yeah I've got that, I should elaborate though that my CDROM doesn't mount or unmount... it shows in the thing similar to My Computer... I opened the .sh script it runs asks for disk 2... my CDROM refuses to open though at that point.
Hell actually I can't even abort the install now...
Make sure your a normal user do not become a superuser (root)
cd /media
ls
your cdrom should be in there (or it might be in /mnt)
cd cdrom (It might be something else like the label)
theres a file called linux-installer.sh or something among those lines.
./linux-installer.sh
If it says no executable permissions copy the contents of the cdrom to your home folder.
mkdir ~/ut2004-install
cp -R * ~/ut2004-install/
after its finished copying
cd ~
chmod -R 700 ut2004-install (This will give you full permission)
then
cd ut2004-install
./linux-installer.sh (or whatever it was)
After its installed you can delete the installer folder.
edit: If something crashes and you can't force quit you can get it out of your sight by just opening up a console typing in xkill and clicking on the window you want to kill.
(The process will still run but its not longer on your screen)
edit: btw im assuming your using gnome it automatically mounts in /media
edit: If you need help just aim me if Im on I will try to help. (I PMed you my aim).
edit: Also do you have your graphics card drivers installed to check.
Dude you're fantastic, though I did manage to get it installed... I've been checking into the patch which is in a tar.bz2 file but coming into a problem.
cd UT2004-Patch/
bash: cd: UT2004-Patch/: No such file or directory
cd Desktop
Desktop$ cd UT2004-Patch/
Desktop/UT2004-Patch$ sudo mv -rv * /usr/local/games/ut2004/
mv: invalid option -- r
Try `mv --help' for more information.
Desktop/UT2004-Patch$ [/php]
And yeah, so far it's going much more smoothly than all the other times I tried Linux, this time I actually "think" I got the graphics drivers installed, you're above post did give me the feedback saying direct rendering: yes, so that's good. But when I do my Google searches I comes up with tons of results with just a bunch of random crap, like Thrax's post I had already been to, but it still refused to install so I figured I did something wrong. I found that I can right click on the icon in the My Computer type screen for the CDROM to eject it like Windows. But... I was right clicking on the wrong icon HAH..HAH. Wound up just rebooting to get the program to quit.

mv has no recursive option. (The -R)
And for installing the patch.
You should see a bunch of folders in it like System, Music, ect
Just move these to the location you have ut2004 installed (The default is ~/ut2004)
After a few seconds it should finish moving congrats you have a fully patched ut2004.
