nope havent swapped. n800 on os2008. thanks for the help.

Run the command
find /media -name palette.bin

If you have the warzone2100 data on your SD cards, this will find the directory it is in. Please post the output here.

If it doesn't return anything, try reinstalling wz2100 then running that command again

Hmm, ran the command, deleted warzone now it's not installing saying it's uninstallable, corrupted. I have emelfm2 installed now, VERY useful. Now I don't need ot use xterm to move files, so not sure where to go from here. .. thanks

Oh and it does nothing when I run that command. Just back to the prompt.

Try this: uninstall warzone2100, delete warzone2100 datadir from /media/mmc2/share, download the deb-package again and save it to your memory card (don't install directly). When it's finished, click on it in the file manager and install.

Ok thanks ukki, does it matter for downloading anything in general whether its to the 2 gb i have in the under the battery slot or the external i have an 8 in? will try now.

Warzone requires quite a lot of space from your rootfs and it doubles the need if you install it directly. So I believe you may have ran out of space on the first try. I think it's always wise to download bigger packages to either mmc1 or mmc2 at first. It at least saves you the trouble of redownloading if the package doesn't install on the first try.

Ok i tried installing from both cards and from the main, installing from anywhere gives me "Unable to Install wz2100" which I haven't got before. Also when i hold down N800 directory in the stock file manager and hit details it says i have 63 mbs available and 187 used. Is that not enough? It's strange because I've installed it before and it just didn't start. Well strange to me.

Sounds strange indeed. Check if the first install left something behind. Try running these commands as root:

rm /usr/bin/warzone
rm /usr/bin/wz2100
rm -rf /usr/share/warzone2100

Then try installing the game with:
cd /media/mmc2 (or where you have the deb)
dpkg -i wz2100_0.2.deb

Then post the dpkg's error message here.
