Go to #Linux on irc.gamesnet.net though you need to do more reading first otherwise you are likely to just screw everything up.

...is there an acpi directory (folder! ack!) under /proc? If not, then I don't know what the problem might be. Do you see anything listed for APM or ACPI in /var/messages/bootlog? If you see something about APM, that may be the problem, as you either use APM *or* ACPI, can't use both. After that, I'm running out of helpful ideas :-)

can someone help me PLEASE...I want links to these modules for the 2.4.20-9 kernel and I need solid instructions...
1) Which one gave you the error? gkrell? or the ACPI module? gkrell works fine with any kernel level (and is really cool, imo...I even use it on the Windows side).

2) Do you mean the KERNEL ACPI module or the gkrell one?

3) What IS the error? That would help a lot.

4) Finally - and this is implied by laclasse's message - you'll need to recompile your 20-9 kernel to get ACPI, as it's not part of it. Right?

OK I am having trouble playing this game.

The game works. I am able to start it and I am able to change settings and everything without any problems. I installed the update patch as well.

When I go to the multiplayer section - THERE ARE NO SERVERS AT ALL!?!?

I enabled Punk Buster etc. but not the newest update - pbweb.x86

I have dloaded pbweb.x86 and saved it in the pb subdirectory on the HDD (by typing /fs_homepath after pressing ~ in the game - I found the home directory and saved it under the pb subdirectory).

I dont know how to run this file...the instructions say I am supposed to run this pbweb.x86 to update punkbuster but I have no idea...

Any suggestions?? What do I do to start playin???

Desperate!!!

GloooOOOooomM!!!!

Have you tried:
./pbweb.x86

There could be a variety of reasons why you're not seeing the dozens (hundreds?) of servers running out there. Firewall? I'd also check the forums on enemy-territory.com

AWESOME!!!!

You guys are great. Yes yes yes I could have gotten the info from somewhere else but not with this speed...

Correct me if I am wrong - chmod 777 pbweb.x86 -> this converts it to executable?? and ./<name> executes a binary executable ??

If I got that right then i've learnt something that many days of reading hasnt thought me...(of course I am still reading the introlinux.pdf and I am reading about directories and files etc. - n00b see )

Thanks peeps!!! i'll keep ya posted!!

No, chmod just changed the access and security on the file. Mode 777 will give anyone and everyone permissions to use the file, i.e. now you should be able to run it.

./ is required if you are running an executable in that folder, otherwise it doesn't know if you are refering to a program in /sbin or /usr/sbin.
