Hi, I hope someone can help.
I'm kind of new to ubuntu and probably just inexperienced with it but I can't find the answer and have spent a few hours on Google looking.
So I put the disk in the laptop and no autorun. No problem, I find the readme and attempt to follow it's instructions but apparently I'm missing something as I've no idea what to do.
The instructions for linux install:
Insert the Linux Pillars of Eternity disc into your DVD drive. Pillars of Eternity is
compressed as a .tar.gz file that was split into several smaller chunks in order to be
compatible with the file system on the DVD. You must first reassemble those chunks to
a temporary location, and then decompress the archive into the final desired location.
To begin, enter the following at the terminal:
cat <src>/PillarsOfEternity.tar.gz.* > <tmp>/PillarsOfEternity.tar.gz
substituting <src> for the location of the files on the DVD and <tmp> for a local temporary
location to use.
Open the resulting <tmp>/PillarsOfEternity.tar.gz file with Archive Manager, and drag the
'Pillars of Eternity' folder to your desired install location. Once it has finished
decompressing, you can delete <tmp>/PillarsOfEternity.tar.gz file.
So the command I'm entering looks like this (I've tried a few variations)
cat /media/name/PillarsOfEternity.tar.gz.* > /home/name/Documents/PoE
I get the error that /home/name/Documents/PoE is a directory. When I try something different it tells me that /media/name/PillarsOfEternity.tar.gz* does not exist.
What am I doing wrong? I know I need to use the terminal to assemble the files and then extract them but there's something I'm obviously meant to understand but don't.
Thanks in advance, sorry if I'm being dim
