If you want the complete game installed all you have to do is copy the content from DATA and MAPS content to the correct places (/opt/fheroes2/files/data and /opt/fheroes2/files/maps) and it's ready to go. No config editing needed.

Perhaps I could use two folders to look for files, having two different paths by default. That way a non-techie persons could install the files to MyDocs if they want.

To play, just install fheroes2-demodata from application manager and then click the icon in the application menu, as you do with other programs. Everything is included.
If you want the complete game to be packaged, you'd have to ask 3DO to make an N900 version for you. As it is now you have to copy the game data yourself as it is not free and thus can't be included in a package in the repositories.

Would it work if I people followed this method and copied the demo files to the same locations?
I actually have it running from the old manual installation process.
I'll try this way this afternoon :-)

Perhaps when you install the package it if gave you access to a sh file that did the copying for you , all it would require would be for you to have the files in the correct place in MyDocs and then they would be moved to opt or is this not possible?

Stupid question, but isn't this the same game that came out in '96 or so?
