Note cross-post between Ubuntu and Unreal Tournament groups.

I've been intending for some time to become a Linux user, since I
discovered what a piece of crap Vista is, always because of DRM, which
is not going to go away.

But I'm still using Agent to read Usenet, and I haven't gotten around
to installing Unreal Tournament.  I figure if I at least start running
UT under Linux, then I can finally feel I'm a true user of Linux, and
I can honestly register as such.

So I finally installed UT this weekend, and as it started to launch,
it locked the system up.  It's on my dad's system, and I'm not quite
sure what version he's running.  It's got both PipeWalker and
NetWalker though, if that's any help.

He's running and MSI motherboard with dual-core AMD processor; video
is an ATI X1550 built by Diamond.

I did notice that the install seemed to hang, but I was running from a
command line, and there was some error about not default directory as
the various files were being decompressed, or some such.

Any thoughts?  Thanks.
