Hello
Can anyone help please?

How does one make a back-up copy of Doom3 Disk1? Is it possible to copy Disc 
1 files to the hard drive to play the game from there instead of the CD 
drive?
Regards
Norm

The linux installer installs a game that does not need the CDs anymore.

Same thing in Windows if you have the latest patch.
