Thats not the end of it
just one tiny more thing,


I have to use Terminal to start the game up right? (( it is installed to Desktop/hda1(( the name of my hard drive ))/Games

But how to i get there through terminal, because if i go to desktop, there is no hard drive, only software.

Please help with this last quality, i been trying this since like... 7 hours ago. :S


Lol sorry for the inconvenience,

Thanks Alot

Hm.. sounds unusual..
Normally mountpoints (like for hdaX) are in /media/.
Are you sure about /Desktop/hda ? Perhaps its in /media/hda1/Games? (Although such a Game-folder would have to be created by root)
Maybe you created your Games folder in /home/<user>/?

Try opening a console and look it up with the "cd" and "ls -l" command..

My bad, it is in media, but how do i get to media from home folder?

Ah, alright:

use the command

Code: [Select]

cd ..for going 1 folder down, or

Code: [Select]

cd \for going straight to the lowest level (root-folder). From the latter do a

Code: [Select]

cd /media/hda1/Games/Planeshiftand you should be in your Planeshift folder.

Since I am using KDE I am not that familiar with Gnome (which may be the default of Ubuntu), but there must be a way to create a shortcut on your desktop like you know it from Windows..


EDIT:
brr sorry, corrected the folders

[bilbowbagins]

Okay i dont want to create the shortcut on desktop, because this is my bros computer, and if he finds out i have installed a game, being a dick he is, he may uninstall it (( good luck with that LOL ))

Well im in the planeshift folder, do i tried /.psclient but it didnt work and produced the error message that the file or directory doesnt exist.


Now what?
