When run NOT as root from the console "ja2" there are no error messages: ~ $ ja2 ~ $ Same with jagged, the window pops up for about 2 frames and then it's gone, like I said. It's kind of curious, huh? The FIRST time I tried to run it, it had an error, I think (can't remember now) that it was something like unable to make ~/.ja2/Data, so I ran as root, fixed that error. EDIT: Hehe, well I got to thinking that it's likely the problem is because Data and ja2.ini are owned by root. Unforuntely I can't change the owner because "there's not enough space left on device". (there's only 1KB of space left )
