[mohaa] Linux install...

[grexil at lan-arena.org]

There's no illegal thing at all... if you paid the game, you can do whatever you
want with it... including extracting the files from YOUR cds.. the only thing
you can't do, is to copy and/or re-distribute..
since i'm not providing any pk3 from MOHAA, this is totally legal.. (well, i
guess it is :S)
