Hey 2hot6ft2. I think sully560 may be referring to the issue of not being able to activate the drivers while using the Ultimate Edition 2.6-gamers live DVD. If this is the case, I can confirm that there appears to be no way of activating them in the live DVD environment (32-bit), which is truly too bad, as U.E.-2.6-gamers looks fantastic and compiz (wobbly windows Etc.) would have been quite a showcase for converting our fellow computer users that are still resigned to using Windoze (or another linux distro, for that matter).

I tried many, many times on the U.E.-2.6-gamers, but I had to finally give up, as I ran out of things to try. I read somewhere on these forums, that installing the drivers required a reboot and unfortunately, that does appear to be the case. I'm not sure what's different, but it is possible to activate the drivers on the Ultimate Edition 2.4 gamers live DVD, without a reboot. I installed the drivers in Ultimate Edition 2.4-gamers live DVD, by just logging out and then back in after downloading and activating the driver. Compiz worked great in that one, but sadly, that method won't work with Ultimate Edition 2.6-gamers.

I hope that the next one works like the 2.4 gamers edition, as visually, the 2.6 gamers is really fantastic looking and comes with enough bells and whistles to suit everyone's taste. Great job to all involved.

A great big thank you to everyone involved for their efforts. Kirby

P.S.
I haven't tried an install yet, as my hard drive is a little bloated at the moment.

Why does one need to load drivers for the live environment? You can run compiz,or even run the games on the live dvd with the driver provided.

hello guys, Iam new in this forum ... and my english is bad *sry*

I download straight gamer edition and wanted to ask whether one with all this play play can? Loosely completely simply the CD purely then install and play?

Hello and welcome linux_member! I think I know what you are asking, You should be able to play the games on the live DVD, depending on your computer spec's memory,CPU,GPU,Ect. But like any "live" DVD/CD It will run fast! To get the full experience of Gamers Edition it should be installed!

Thus I can play all plays it give?

Yes, if your computer has the memory, CPU and GPU to play the high end 3D games ! Capability = Hardware.

I have searched, and unfortunately, not found an answer to the following question:

Is there a way of downloading the games in Gamer Edition 2.6 (or even the new 2.8 Gamers Ed.) to an existing 2.6 (or 2.8 as the case may be) installation?

If there is already a post explaining this, I apologize, and would appreciate the link. If not, if someone knows how to do this (if possible), I would appreciate it. I do not want to lose any of the apps that come in the standard x86 installation, in exchange for games that I might from time to time play.

Thanks,
