You just need the big one, and the latest patch, you don't need to apply 
all of them.  And NO NO NO, you don't need your windows maps, or 
anything else from a windows install, except maybe a config file if you 
wish.

To start up Desert Combat execute:
  "bf1942_lnxded +game Desert_Combat"

bf1942 is a hog on resources, especially the linux version so far it 
seems.  Don't expect to be hosting a 26 player server on that machine. 
There's really not much you can do about, short of buying a faster linux 
box.
