I gather you meant the linux quake2 files available from idsoftware's ftp
site? Instead of these, use the non-free quake2 package.

As long as they are in the same directory as the main quake2 binary, It
will run fine.

I am hoping here you have the quake2 CD? If not, go and buy it. you need
pak0.pak, which is ~180 MB This contains almost all of the necessary
quake2 data files. A symlink to the file on the CD is fine, but it slows
loading time.

Buy Quake2. The linux version is not the full game. It is the necessary
binaries, libraries and rendering engines. You need to OWN the game to
play it. Unless you you can afford to download the .pak files, although I
wouldnt know from where.
