-Type following commands in a shell:
+====If the installer still does not find the cd?====
-//sh installer.run//
+Make sure your kernel has "Joliet extensions" enabled.
-or
+("File systems" -> CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems -> "ISO 9660 CDROM file system support" -> "Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions")
-//chmod u+x installer.run
+====The installer does not recognize the cd at all and i tried all solutions below====
-./installer.run//
+Make sure you are using the recommended version of the game for the installer.

-**Besides the installer, what else do i need to install my game?**
+Type following commands in a shell:

+====The installer does not find the cd.====
 First try to export the CD-ROM environment variable: (Especially for auto/supermount users e.g. Mandrake).
-//export SETUP_CDROM=/path/to/your/mounted/cdrom//
+  export SETUP_CDROM=/path/to/your/mounted/cdrom
-FreeBSD users: //setenv SETUP_CDROM /path/to/your/mounted/cdrom//
+FreeBSD users:

-("Filesystems" -> "ISO 9660 CDROM file system support" -> "Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions"
+By default, the installer extracts to the /tmp directory. If you have limited space in /tmp, change the path to some place where you have enough free space.
-**The installer does not recognize the cd at all and i tried all solutions above.**
+  export TMPDIR=/where/you/have/lots/of/freespace
-Make sure you are using the recommended version of the game for the installer.
+FreeBSD users:

+====I'm trying to start a game which I have installed using one of your installers and I get the error message "Syntax error: Bad substitution".====
-//export TMPDIR=/where/you/have/lots/of/freespace//
+You are not using bash as your default shell. This is especially the case for Ubuntu users.
-FreeBSD users: //setenv TMPDIR /where/you/have/lots/of/freespace//
