1. Don't cross post.
2. You'll have a much better time installing the Quake 3 binary. Run the installer as root with X access (sux can help you with this) and it will create the appropriate directories for you. Then copy your pak0.pk3 into the baseq3 directory.
Edit: I suppose you could also use sudo to run the installer, which keeps you from having to install sux and set up a root account, in the spirit of Ubuntu. So grab the binary and do something like:Code:$ sudo 'sh linuxq3apoint-1.32b.x86.run'

Code:cp pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3 cp: cannot stat pak0.pk3: no such file or directory

Um, you are running the cp command from the directory that has pak0.pk3 in it, right? That is, you cd to the directory where you have the pk3, then tell it to cp to /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3. Alternatively, you can specify the whole path for both the source and destination, a la 'cp /media/cdrom/baseq3/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3'
