I have no idea what im doing, please help
Im running a current version of ubuntu, and Im looking to kill my Winblows partition. Although untill I learn how to funcionally use linux to the point I can get a few vital things on here (UT2004 & Vendetta) I really cant justify doing such a thing. So heres my question.
Will someone please, for the sake of myself and all others needing to know take time to teach your fellow nooblets how to install shit from a cd onto linux. Details, everything needed. Oh, and make it work for Ubuntu primarily. Everywhere I find a tutorial I see alot of Gentoo and Fedora crap, but I need to know how to us .sh's and .deb's. I would REALLY appriciate it fellas.
Just for helping I'll send the next productive poster a pack of Oreos.

I don't know how exactly the cd version works. But this is how it should.
1. pop in the cd
2. Open Applications->Accessories->Terminal
3. enter "cd /cdrom" to go to the cd mount point
4. enter "ls" to list the files on the cd find the insttaller shell script (a .sh file)
5. enter sh "vendetta-installer.sh" or something like that
6. then hit enter
7. enter
8. if it asks whether to create a directory hit y
that should do it.
To run the game got to places->Home Folder, which should open the file manager in your home directory. Open the directory called "bin" and doubleclick on vendetta.
If that doesn't start the game you probably don't have gtk1.2 installed.
In that case open the terminal again, enter "sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2" and try again.
(Or use synaptic if you want a gui for this, it's under System->Adminstration.)
You can move or link the vendetta binary to wherever you want by middleclick dragging it.

Dear god my fine sir, I love you. Email me your home address and Ill get those Oreos right to you.
Under Ubuntu, you should pretty much be able to double-click on the CD, then double-click on vendetta-linux-installer.sh.
I tried that with my Dapper. But it didn'T work.
EDIT: A damn .. I used the downloaded version and forgot to make it executable. It works now. Yeah just double click the icon. >.<
