Note that if you are using only a 64bit graphics driver the game may hang - you also need to install the 32bit version of your drivers libs.

There are some known issues with running Enemy Territory.

echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

If you're on a 64 bit system, besides installing the 32 bit version of SDL, you'll need to make heavy use of the linux32 command. If you try to load the initial .run file that you need for installing the game and you get an error that you can't execute the binary file try running:

linux32 sh ./et.run

where 'et.run' is your binary install file. This'll fix it. Also when you then go to launch the game (which is the program 'et'), you'll also need to use linux32, as:

linux32 ./et
