[cod] Now what ...Am I missing something

[Kenny Southpark]

But Jay, why are you so sure that PB cannot work on that setup,, It works on 
SoF2 no problems, I have it working on UO with no pbroblems,, once people 
know that they need to be working with the .callofduty/uo/pb dir then they 
can work with it as if it was a normal PB dir on a windows box.

Every game (I have only messd with quake based games on linux) I have messd 
with has created a .gamename in the user home account I creat for the game. 
With SoF2 running OSP and RoC it dumps the logfiles for the mod into the 
respective dir in the .sof2 dir. I have never had a problem getting pb to 
work for any game on this setup.

Maybe the Suse I use is more lax on stuff and doesnt balk at every turn.

Look man,

Make me a user on your box and send me the info needed. I will get her going 
for you without it looking in the .folder . Or you can sit here and figure 
out all day why PB will not work in that folder.
