*conjures an evil plan to make gentoo the definitive linux gaming system*

Ahem...make the game available only through portage. :twisted:

dweigert: You don't need to burn it. Just mount it on loopback. All you need to support it is "Loopback device support" in the kernel. With that, just mount the .iso file as you would mount a normal device, but supplying the argument "-o loop" to mount.

The ISO didn't make a bootable CD, looks like it was supposed to be a livecd though. Had an isolinux folder etc..

It probably wasn't ready.

This is such a teaser. I wonder if we will start to see lots of games distributed as Gentoo LiveCDs. This would almost make running PC games as easy as a console. Ahh, what's taking so long
