Install and run in Linux?
Heya a new face to the forum here
The last time I played Transport Tycoon Deluxe was on my old 486 and I have suddenly had the urge to come back to it. I am pretty amazed that not only are people distributing ports of the game but improvements to the game are also being made. Anyway to come to my problem, I have the original TTD CD however I have moved on from my old 486 and now only have a Powerbook running OS X and a PC running Linux Gentoo (no Windows partition anymore). Doing a bit of searching it seems OpenTTD should run perfectly fine in Linux but as it requires you to copy the grf files from the installation dirctory. Now as I don't have windows I can't install it to get those files and looking at the CD the files seem to be somehow compressed and split over many files.
Is there a way of creating them from the files on the CD from within Linux and if not is someone prepared to send me them? I know it wouldn't really be legal but it's not like I don't own the game.

lol, I know that I always have that when starting to build a website... Anyway to get back on-topic:
Wraith, did you get to download a TTD copy with files in it (no installer) if not, I could send you the files or something
just send me a PM and we'll talk about it
