d3minst is a Linux installer for Descent 3: Mercenary.
From the README:
d3minst is a Perl script that will extract the necessary files to play
Descent 3: Mercenary from the d3merc.pkg file on the expansion's CD.
Included is the Perl module GKPOPackage which parses and extracts files
from the PKG file.
To build d3minst:
- Run build.pl. This appends the necessary files to d3minst. Note
that d3minst will be overwritten every time this happens.
To run d3minst:
- cd [descent3 directory]
- perl d3minst [optional path to d3merc.pkg]
- This will use the default path /media/D3_MERCS/d3merg.pkg unless
you provide another path to use.
It is kind of rough around the edges. The safest thing to do would be to run the script outside of the Descent 3 directory and copy the files over that way. I've run it in my own Descent 3 directory and it worked. Feedback and patches welcome. Enjoy!
