Ok then This is abit messy and I'm sure there's easier ways of doing it but it's fairly quick and will allow you to get the game up and running quickly.

>When finished vi /etc/fstab >remove the # save and restart. The game should now work though you'll need to add a link to the menu or desktop. The command to run the game from command line should be some thing like ut2003 Instead of vi other text editors can be used Kate, emacs or gedit are best though I'd recomend kate if in kde gedit in Gnome. Also you'll need the ATI graphics drivers installed They can be downloaded from ATI's website. As for Mandrake 9.2 it's abit faster overall, Gnome 2.4 is nicer than the old version in 9.1 as is Openoffice 1.1 over mdk9.1's version. Other than that theres been a few graphical changes Mandrakes Galaxy theme has some improvements and drak tools are abit better. Down side is theres alot of updates for it and some problems.
