Not sure about the actual installation process, but if the Quake 3 data files have not been released under a free distribution license, it's against the rules here (and in most places) to distribute such software.

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..

Just install the game from the repositories and copy the baseq3 directory from the CD to /home/user
Run the game and... et voilą!

By the way, can the datafiles of Quake 3 purchased from Steam be used?

Hey everyone..
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 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.

quick question - is there any way to move the PAK files off the 2GB partition and into the much bigger MyDocs? Its REALLY taking up too much room (nearly 500MB of a 2000MB partition) and getting errors about not enough memory space already.. (despite having 150MB left)
