I've got quake2, and installed the potato versions of the debian
packages. When someone tries to connect to my machine however, their
quake2 (which is the same version as mine) fails: wrong version number
Server is version 3.19
I've installed quake2, quake2-dm and quake2-ctf.

If it's a floppy, then remove the floppy and throw it away - the kernel
will complain, but shouldn't mind the fact you've removed a mounted
floppy. T
