	I did a 
/compat/linux/bin/bash2 tuxracer-demo-1.1-linux-i386.sh 
	and installed it to my home directory without any problems.

	I had to grab some rpms to satisfy it's dlopening,
specifically audiofile-0.1.9-3.i386.rpm and esound-0.2.8-1.i386.rpm.
(Hmm, I think I did a rpm2cpio /file/ | cpio -i -d in /tmp) I then
then moved libesd.so.0 and libaudiofile.so.0 to the tuxracer
directory.

	The sound doesn't seem to work at all and it says:
SDL: Audio timeout - buggy audio driver? (disabled)
audio: Bad file descriptor
	If you don't disable music in the .tuxracer-v1/options it
locks up completely.  
	The initial bitmaps for the menus are messed up for me but
selecting something (blindly) then returning to the menu clears up
that problem.  So it's playable but without sound.
