Installing the demo version

id Software has a freely available demo version of Quake II at their ftp site. It's a 40 megabyte download. The
demo includes all features of the full version, including multiplayer, but it only comes with three levels, so it
may be difficult to find a server to play on.
See the section Download the Necessary Files above for the location of the Quake II demo. Download it and
place it in your Quake II directory.
The demo distribution is a self−extracting zip file (it's self−extracting in other OS's anyway). You can extract
it with the unzip(1) command, which should be included in most modern distributions. If you don't have
unzip, you can download it from the location listed in the Download the Necessary Files section.
cd to your Quake II directory and extract the archive:
cd /usr/local/games/quake2
unzip q2−314−demo−x86.exe
Now we've got to delete some things and move some other things around:
rm −rf Splash Setup.exe
mv Install/Data/baseq2 .
mv Install/Data/DOCS docs
rm −rf Install
rm −f baseq2/gamex86.dll
The Quake II demo is now installed. You just need to add the Linux binaries.
