Maybe. But it could also just make it really not fun. If you go to play (fairly) and find yourself losing all the time to people who've modified their versions of the game, it'd start to get old really quickly for most games (I can lost at Quake thousands of times and never care, for example, but strategy-type games are good to win sometimes).

Re: untarring kernel source, symlink gone
AL maybe I cannot see the forest because of the many trees, but when I untar AL the latest Linux kernel tarball, it ignores my symlink, creating a AL directory in it's place: snip That's normal. After untarring, just mv linux linux-2.x.y for the appropriate x and y, then ln -s linux-2.x.y linux to recreate your symlink. -Jason -- Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wonka.hampshire.edu/~jason Don't feed the bats tonight. pgpTIkpO84VOt.pgp Description: PGP signature

On the tip of someone else in another thread (who mentioned something about biznet stuff being broken), I tried downgrading from 3.0.0-12 to 3.0.0-11 of everything biznet on my box, but that didn't help, either. Is it likely just a broken package that's going to be fixed eventually? I wouldn't even be sure which package to file a bug report against in this case... -Jason
