Hello all,
I recently tried to install Urban Terror using YaST. It seems to have done what it was supposed to do. It created a folder in my usr/lib64 folder and installed the files there. So far so good. I would have expected it to install somewhere in my home folder, but I assume the packagers know what they are doing. Then I downloaded the files I need off the Urban Terror website and extracted them to a folder in the downloads folder. It’s named UrbanTerror. Now I’m supposed to copy them to the the urbanterror folder created in usr/lib64. How do I do this safely and easily? This has to be done as root from what I understand. I know I can copy each file using the cp command as root but with that many files it would be a lengthy process. Ark’s help file hasn’t been helpful in showing me how to extract into a folder as root. I don’t know if that can or should be done like that.
What I would like to do is copy the entire contents of a folder into another folder, and not overwrite any files in the process (which it shouldn’t do anyway). I have not found a tutorial yet that tells me how to do just this. I could use the unzip command but the output folder from the .zip file is UrbanTerror, not urbanterror which openSUSE will treat differently. I could unzip the archive to usr/lib64, copy the two files I need in urbanterror to UrbanTerror, delete the original urbanterror and then rename UrbanTerror. I assume that would work, if you can follow what I mean. I’ll do that but there has to be a better way. It’s something I could do in 5 seconds if I could use a gui. Thanks in advance.
