Afer installing DSL to my HD. I downloaded doom and it seems to have deveopled some problems. The program stops running. I have tried reloading it, but it still has problems. It will not let me move to the right. Anyone else had issues with Doom?

I just d/l it and played a level.. no probs here...Check your "ps ax" for other programs running alongside it..
Are you using a US keyboard layout ?
Have you tried to install other extensions?
( like ptbr.dsl ? )

I have been able to download and run it from the CD so was suprised that it stumbled when on a HD

Well, took a look at it again, looked at keybindings. Seems the keybindings had gotten rearranged. Oddly enough, the game played with music. Keep in mind that i have not been able to get my sound card working. Wierd!Thanks for the help

Ke4nt1, I told you before that I got Doom and Quake working, but I found a disk I had for Doom 1 and 2 that has .wads made by users. There were a whole pile of them on the disk. Well I copied a bunch over to my custom live CD and I could put them on the HDD that has Knoppix. Do you know if Doom will detect the .wads for the other episodes and how I can load the user modded .wads?I got 0.8.0 working too, so I need to "test" Doom and Quake extensively this weekend.
I need to figure out how to use alien too, because I found my Quake 1 CD and it has .rpm and source files. Is alien on the DSL distro?

I think you can place the .wad files in the same directory thatthe shareware .wad is, then use the console in doom to load them.
Or better yet, use a shell and type
"path/to/lxdoom -file whatever.wad"
At least that's how we used to do it in "DOS"land..

ALRIGHT!!! Let the frag-fest begin. Even Quake 2 should rock on my PII-333 laptop. I may have to boot into 800x600 mode to play Doom because the window is so small.

You can change the screen size with the command line as well, but withoutany accelerated graphics drivers, expect to see some skips or slow screen
refreshes as you increase size, unless you've got some cojones under the hood ..

Sound worked the first time, but has not since and I have given it ample opportunity.
I will see what I can do about copying lsmod. That has been a challenge

easy.... follow me..
1. Get in the forums, and begin a reply ..
2. Minimize the browser by dbl-clicking the top bar of the window
3. start a root shell . Use your menu. select Xshells > Root Access
4. Type " lsmod "
5. Grab a lower corner of your shell window, and click-drag it as tall as possible.
( you want to see your lsmod output from root@box~# to root@box~# )
6. Place your mouse cursor at the end of your lower root@box~#, and
click-drag upwards till you highlight all the text.
7. Now, unminimize the browser window, place your cursor in the reply box,
(..sometimes this takes a single left mouse click inside it..)
and click one time your MIDDLE mouse button ,
( IF you don't have a 3 button mouse, click both left/right buttons at once)
your text should paste in the box ..
