slack9 install

[Peake Brian K FCCS ATRC]

First off I was really suprised when I came into work Monday morning and my
inbox was filled with ArmyOps emails :) And the first one being I was part
of the beta!!! Got it D/L'd and burned, got home and my son and I have
played it for 2 days. All is working good for both of our machines running
slackware9.0, with the exception of the already mentioned problems that are
in bugzilla:

1. no saving of video settings (easily overcome by editing the .ini file)

2. segfaults on the plane jump mission at load (boohoo I so wanted to do
that!!!)


Additionally I wish to comment that I am playing via a dialup on the SCI
servers (USARMY OFFICIAL) and my "LAG" is not noticable. Though, my FPS are
cut down when online.
