Hello,
is there any1 there who has discovered how to install mohaa in linux without 
using windows ?
I've done it today (was my first time installing mohaa actually)
(using /home/mohaa and linux-distro based on RPM in this mini-howto)

How i've done it:


- Create the install dir
mkdir /home/mohaa/install
cd /home/mohaa/install

- Copy both cd's contents to that directory
cp -R /mnt/cdrom/* /home/mohaa/install/

- Download and install unshield, a tool to extract files from InstallShield 
.cab's (check http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/unshield.php)
wget 
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/synce/unshield-0.4-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ihv unshield-0.4-1.i386.rpm

- Extract all files to /home/mohaa
unshield -d /home/mohaa x data1.hdr

- Copy Pak2.pk3 and some other files to their dir
cp main/Pak2.pk3 /home/mohaa/Data_Files_Minimal/
cp *gamex* /home/mohaa/Data_Files_Minimal/
cp ffx86.dll /home/mohaa/Data_Files_Minimal/
cp config.csv /home/mohaa/Data_Files_Minimal/

- now, you have 2 options... you can use my script that create and copy all 
files to the right folder or you can do it yourself... :)
cd /home/mohaa
wget http://www.lan-arena.org/grexil/mohaainstall
sh mohaainstall

- after this, you can just read the rest of ryan's how-to :)

NOTES:
PROBLEM  - I had MD5 problems when extracting the pak1 and pak3 from the 
cab... i don't know if my CDs where damaged... i don't think so...
SOLUTION - To resolve that problem, i just edited unshield's source and 
removed the "problem" (check lib/file.c line 689)
wget http://www.lan-arena.org/grexil/unshield-0.4-LA.tar.gz
tar jxf unshield-0.4-LA.tar.gz
cd unshield-0.4-LA
./configure
make
make install (you need root to do this)
