Installation help

[xeriouxi]

Hi there!

I would like to say that from what I played of the demo this looks a great game... I'm looking forward to getting the next one after playing this. However I have a query about the installation of the game if I may.

I have the retail installer here and I make sure all my games go into /usr/local/games (I run Ubuntu 8.04) and so I ran the installer using the sudo command.

The game seemed to install just fine, but when I go into the directory it's empty. I assume this is somehow related to root owning the folder maybe, even though it doesn't hide the contents in any other folders from me.

My question is how can I get this working? I know I have to apparently run the game using 'sh penumbra' but do I have to do something like chmod/chown (I'm really new to the commands so I don't know what I'm doing) on the folder, and is this recommended/safe to do? I won't have any issues in the future with this or anything? And I'm stumped on how I do all this if it's the way to do it that is...

Many thanks in advance! =)
