I guess it is silly to post in a forum called "How I Did It" to say I followed the instructions, but that is what I did...
I purchased Neverwinter Nights on the weekend and installed it on my WinXP partition. Then last night my nephew asked to see it. I was using Linux and I thought that, rather than reboot, I may as well get it working in Linux.
So, I headed to their official website and found the instructions for getting it to work on my computer (RH9 by the way). First I mounted my WinXP partition and copied the necessary files into /home/david/NWN, then I unzipped a file that I downloaded from NWN's web site.
Went to my terminal, and ran /home/david/NWN/./nwn
Easy as pie!
This sure isn't earth-shattering but I am proud of myself for getting this accomplished... I also got Wolfenstein: ET working as well, with no problems at all.
Now the only thing I need to use Windows for is NBA Live 2000 and Madden Football 2000. Everything else on my "to-do" list for Linux has been crossed off... So my next project is going to be learning how to use a variety of different Window Managers without KDE or Gnome. :)
