Me neither :(

This happened to me at first too, but I think you need to download
quake106.zip (the README mentions the older quake101.zip which doesn't
seem to be available anymore). In summary, here's what I did (for steps
3 and 4 I looked at the Makefile for the quakeserver port):

(1)	$ fetch ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/unsup/intel_linux_quake101.tgz
	$ fetch ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake/quake106.zip

	$ md5 intel_linux_quake101.tgz quake106.zip
	MD5 (intel_linux_quake101.tgz) = bccaf31cf8f3a81003a8b03b437af067
	MD5 (quake106.zip) = 8cee4d03ee092909fdb6a4f84f0c1357

(2)	$ tar xzf intel_linux_quake101.tgz xquake

(3)	You'll need the unzip port for this step:
	$ unzip quake106.zip 'resource.*'

	$ cat resource.dat resource.1 > resource.exe
	$ rm resource.dat resource.1

(4)	You'll need the lha port for this step:
	$ lha x resource.exe id1/pak0.pak
	$ rm resource.exe

(5)	$ ./xquake
	Added packfile ./id1/pak0.pak (339 files)
	FindFile: can't find gfx/pop.lmp
	Playing shareware version.
	Error: You must have the registered version to use modified games
	$

Now I don't understand, why am I getting this error message?

I'm still running an old -current from Feb 10 97 00:00:00 GMT.

Thanks very much for any help,
Pius
