Hi guys...

I recently downloaded Quake 2 to my Dsl USB but it won't start...

Why is that?

Umm... because you didn't add your own data/map files ?

The engine that runs under linux is GPL'd.
The maps and levels aren't.

You can use the files from the shareware version,
or add your own from your provided CD's ..

The included info file does instruct you to add your own maps.

Even the shareware version are large, at about 40MB's.
Makes for an unnecessarily large download from DSL servers.
