In the Cedega installer screens, there is a checkbox for managing multiple CD installations. (I forget the exact terminology.) Is this checked?

I'm at work tonight so I won't be able to do much until after midnight, but I didn't see any box except for something to the effect of manage CD eject or something like that. I attempted to mount the CD after putting the second CD in the DVD drive and then found the the file that they couldn't find, I then clicked on that file and it began to continue to install. But it didn't install all the way, even though the window said the file had copied 100%. Perhaps I was just too impatient, and closed out the window too early. A message popped up when I tried to run that game that the installation was incorrect. I will try it again later. If I do that and the installation goes through all the way, will it correct any errors that might have been taken place, or will I have to try to find a way to uninstall the game and try again?
I also just downloaded and printed the Cedega instructions and will be reading through them tonight. Hopefully I will get some of these answers from them.
Also, please explain to me what is meant by a native client for x86. I have Doom 3 and have already played the game in windows, but would like to see how it works in Linux. Apparently there is a native client for x86 for Doom 3.
Are there any plans for this with Civ III or Civ IV?
Padma-- did you have any problems playing/installing CivIII or IV on your Mandriva machine?

Yeah, "CD Rom eject monitoring" is the one.
I've had problems *playing* Civ3/Civ4 on my system, but it's hardware-related. I think my mobo is preparing to die.
I had no real problems *installing* though. (Although I do seem to recall that sometimes a window would pop up about the CD having an autorun function, and would I like to run that. This popup would be hidden under other windows, and Iif I missed it to close, things wouldn't go right.)
The native version for Doom 3 uses the Windows CD for installation, IIRC, and to my understanding basically just "patches" the game so it runs natively. (Doom doesn't depend on Windows api.
) I think you can get the "patch" by contacting the publisher.
And no, Firaxis has absolutely no plans to support Civ on Linux.

Think of it this way, it gives you an excuse to build a fancy box with all the latest hardware, you know, pass up the very best Alienware computer. You can go out and spend $300.00+ for a video card, stick in 3 gig ram, and heck I have no idea about processors anymore. It seems my machine is way outdated now. I have a P4 3.2 Ghz, and only 768 ram. Of course, if you are like me, or have a wife like mine, that'll happen.
Oh, by the way Cedega says with multiple disc installs that I should just (Un)mount the first CD, before attempting to install the second. I will be trying that when I get home shortly after midnight.
