Hey, I may not be a Linux guru, but I know my q2....
This is an error w/ Quake2! I get this error sometimes in windows, and I
get millions of e-mails from ppl about this problem!
in windows... the only solution is to acctually get colormap.pcx or run it
thru a shortcut or explorer. As well as re-isntall the game. Other than
that.. Don't know how to solve
Good Luck,
ChOPpY
