+What you need:                          
+
+- retail CD-ROM of Quake III Arena for Windows or linux
+- optionally, retail CD-ROM of Quake III: Team Arena 
+- a computer running linux (kernel >= 2.2 glibc >= 2.1)

+
+Installation:
+
+If you have the retail CD-ROM of Quake III Arena for linux:

+- run the Point Release installer
+(to buy Quake III Arena for linux online, try http://www.tuxgames.com/)
+
+If you have the retail CD-ROM of Quake III Arena for Windows:
+- run the Point Release installer first
+- now you need to copy the main pak files from the CD-ROM
+  or from your win32 partition. Namely, you need to copy baseq3/pak0.pk3
+  and for Team Arena, missionpack/pak0.pk3
+  see below for more instructions on how to copy the files:
+
+WARNING: Those instructions are provided as a reference, 
+depending on your distribution the CD-ROM might not have the same 
+mount point. Please refer to your linux documentation for additional 
+information.
+
+- open a root shell and cd to the default installation path:
+  cd /usr/local/games/quake3
+- mount the Quake III Arena CD-ROM and install the game content
+  cp /mnt/cdrom/Quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3
+- optionally, mount the Quake III: Team Arena CD-ROM
+  cp /mnt/cdrom/Setup/missionpack/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/missionpack
+  
+NOTES:
+- If you are running Quake III Arena and Quake III: Team Arena on a 
+  Windows partition, you can save some space by symlinking the game 
+  assets to their windows installation:
+  ln -s /win/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3
+  ln -s /win/quake3/missionpack/pak0.pk3 /usr/local/games/quake3/missionpack/pak0.pk3
+  (Windows partition is mounted as /win and Quake III Arena installation is C:\quake3)
