How To Install Point2Play

Point2Play is available in a variety of pre-built binary packages

To install the Point2Play rpm package, open a console/terminal window
and execute the following command as 'root':

# rpm  -ivh  Point2Play-[version].rpm


deb - Debian Package (Debian GNU/Linux, Corel/Xandros Linux, Lindows,
etc)

and execute the following command as 'root':

# dpkg  -i  Point2Play_[version].deb

============
Known Issues
============

- Distributions such as SuSE 8.2 and Debian Unstable use a version of pthreads which 
  only allows for a 2 megabyte per thread stack size.  Most games do not require more
  than 2 megabytes per thread, however some games such as Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
  do require more than 2 megabytes and will not work.  If you use any release of
  Cedega or a release of WineX more recent than 3.2 then you can play without pthreads and not
  face this limitation ; however, WineX versions 3.0 and 3.1 DO require
  pthreads and will suffer from the limitation described.

  You can see if your distribution has this issue by running the "Test if POSIX
  Threads (pthreads) Are Required" test in the "System Tests" tab in Point2Play.

- Renaming a Program Group may affect game functionality as there is a 
  slight chance that renaming a program group could affect
  the functionality of the games contained in it, especially regarding
  registry entries with UNIX paths rather than Windows paths.
