Now, with that out of the way, with my level of compiling knowledge and impatience with incomplete (or Engrish) instructions is there an easy way to install ioquake3? I've tried other installers (the Loki installer, the official id installer) but I run up against various errors obviously because they're old installers and 8.04 has changed things. It's total automation without any Linux terms I'm assumed to know by the programmer. The Loki Quake 2 installer was just a double click in Ubuntu 8.04 where then I clicked the Run button and it ran. That is not to say that I haven't launched programs and installers from the CLI. Remember, I'll avoid the CLI (ie: terminal) whenever possible. I get the feeling that for some this is incomprehensible, but it's true. I come from a history of not using a CLI for my daily computing needs. I have absolutely no patience for incomplete and dated instructions for compiling programs from source. Oftentimes I'll abandon installing something and wait for a user friendly graphical installer for it to come out (in which case often means never).

I'll try the instructions to the best of my ability but scrap it when errors arise that I can't find a solution for. Often this happens when I'm asked to compile something and the instructions are obviously dated before the current release of the distro I'm using. Especially when instructions aren't clear enough and I run into roadblocks.

I'll avoid using the CLI whenever possible. But, BUT, I've only used the graphical part of Linux. Backstory: Ok, I've been using Linux for the better part of 6 years now.
