How can I get the cold war demo to run on my install of SL. I was looking for it after install and can't find it.

it's not installed. Just use portage to get it:

Code: Select all: emerge -s coldwar

to search it into portage applications database.

Thanks lxnay.

Tried portage and I get this;

Can I get this from the live dvd?

yes, put the DVD in, mount it and then copy coldwar.iso somewhere, then:

Code: Select all: mount -o loop /path/to/coldwar.iso /mnt/temp mkdir /usr/share/games/ColdWar cp /mnt/temp/* /usr/share/games/ColdWar/ -Rp umount /mnt/temp

then, just run (IIRC) /usr/share/games/ColdWar/coldwar-demo

You can boot into the game with the DVD.

Hit F2 and F3 after booting from the DVD and it gives you the startup options,
one of them is "Coldwar" I think.
