Mageia does not provide makeself, so you must obtain it from it's homepage (which re-direct to its Github page). The homepage provides a description of the application and a discussion of its options as well as some history of the application. Download it from: https://github.com/megastep/makeself/tarball/master . Unpack it to a sub-directory of your /home directory and change to that directory. Then run $ sh  ./makeself.sh and makeself will unpack itself to ~/makeself . Read the README.md file contents. This provides a good overview of what the application does and how it goes about building itself and eventually extracting itself.

We'll be installing as root to make the game available to all system users. Download the the Linux installer. Mount the game discs and copy them all to ~/ut2004 . Copy the Linux installer to that directory, cd there and su to root. First, we need to set a workable POSIX version value. # export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 Second, set a usable libc version. # export SETUP_LIBC=glibc-2.1 Third, tell the installer that we are running on a 32-bit system. #...
