[ut2004] trying to install UT2004 on gentoo 2004.1

[asdf asdf]

what was that nwn gold unofficial installer you were talking about? does 
that cost money?

I think my next step is going to be adding another cdrom drive and trying 
knoppix to install it.  I really dont want to have to change distros gentoo 
has been great for everything else
