I know this will sound a bit stupid but i have Red Hat 9 and have downloaded the linux install and the linux patch for ET but can’t figure out how to install them. When i double-click the files they open as text. Could someone tell me what to do?
How do I install ET for linux in Red Hat 9?

-Open a terminal window
-cd to the directory where you downloaded the executable
-do chmod u+x on the install file
-run the installer ----> ./linuxetinstaller.bin
Before you do any of that though, you’ll have to download the proper graphics drivers and install themt. If you don’t then you’re probably going to get bad performance. Also, I wish good luck to you if you have an ati card, i hear that the install guides are something like 14 pages long.

Thank you for your help I got ET installed and running now. Though I can’t seem to get the shrub mod to work. I downloaded the shrubmod 1[1].1.zip file, unzipped it, made a folder in the enemy territory file location /home/josh/enemy territory/shrubet. I copied the 4 files into that folder then copied the server.cfg file from the et folder into the shrubet folder. I have made a launcher link [shortcut] to et and added the +set fs_game shrubet. So my command line for the launcher looks like /home/josh/enemy territory/et +set fs_game shrubet. But when i use it to start the game it seems to be loading a regular server instead of the shrub mod server. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe the problem is that the directory is in caps, “shrubet” and “Shrubet” are something different in Linux. That once was a problem for me when a server didn’t find my etpro-dir, because it wanted the file “Etpro/etpro_3_0_x.pk3” instead of “etpro/etpro_3_0_x.pk3”. I simply made a link:
ln -s ./etpro Etpro
Maybe you can fix the problem this way.
