How to install manually
The following instructions need to be run from the Terminal activity. You will need a working internet connection on your OLPC for the install only. The instructions worked on a B4 OLPC laptop running Build 650.
- Open the terminal
- Switch to the root user, by typing:
su -
...and entering the root password, if requested to.
- Then type
yum install prboom
- The download is about 18MB, so will take a few minutes.
- When you get a prompt again, type:
exit
- To run Doom, type
prboom
Changing Doom to run in full screen mode
To run in full screen mode, type:
prboom -geom 1200x900
To permanently adjust Freedoom to run in full screen mode all the time, type:
cd /home/olpc/.prboom nano prboom.cfg
This will open the freedoom configuration file in the nano text editor. Find the two lines in the file with the words:
width 640 height 480
And change them to:
width 1200 height 900
Then type ctrl-x to exit, and type y to save your changes. Now, Freedoom should run in full screen mode when you type
prboom
