[lgfaq] UT Classic

[Adam Piper]

Many apologies, I should also have mentioned that I'm using an original 
2-Disc UT set (Game/Extras) and have successfully installed this version 
a year ago while using Debian. This is not a GOTY edition or any other 
incompatible version. I thought I should mention this as this seems the 
most widesread problem and I'd rather you didn't waste your time 
explaining to me how to figure out what version I have ;)
