It has been 2days since I bought a Nokia N900.. I absolutely love the phone.. However, I would like to learn from experts like you about how to install games like Quake3, Duke, Counter Strike etc.. I have already referred to all threads explaining in bit and pieces, but I really couldnt understand how to do it..

I am a beginner and no programmer or expert.. Hence, I would appreciate if you guys help me with step by step procedure to install Quake3 on Nokia N900 having PR1.2..

Also, I do not have any Quake3 cd or anything.. Hence, kindly request you to please help me out step by step right from downloading Quake3 files & any other files it may require..

Thanks guys !! This will help many users as me who are new to linux & N900..
If you are after something to show off... my advice is to go the simple route and get OpenArena... it uses the same engine as the Quake 3 port... except its free and a hell of a lot easier to install. Just select it from the Application Manager.. and your done.

If you are after the actual Quake 3 experience, however, you'll need the pak files from an UPDATED Quake 3 installation (older versions of quake 3 don't work). You'll then need to get them into your /home/user/ directory. My advice is a program like Midnight Commander (Commando?) as this will require no xterminal use.
