Unreal tourney install fail

[hvc123]

hi all , can anyone help me please.
im trying to install ut2004 from dvd but if i use the installer that came with it it stops and keeps asking for the game disk ???
i have also tried to run the installer from the HD not the dvd and get the same error
if i use "emerge ut2004" it copies the requires files (ie all 6 cds from the dvd) and fails after the copy

i have done a search on here and linuxquestions.org yet i cant find any way of installing it .

cheers

What message do you get when the emerge fails?

(incidentally, please don't use ALL CAPS unless you're shouting...)

failed to uncompress

Some more context would be helpful... (the actual error is probably before that).

If you've got /var on a separate hard drive partition you might be running out of space. That's the problem I've been having since emerge wants to put all 6+ gigs of UT2004 in /var/tmp before moving it to wherever it eventually gets moved. I went and added 'PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/usr/tmp' and replaced the symbolic link /usr/tmp with an actual directory since my /usr partition is 30 gigs. The problem is I forgot to delete all the stuff that was filling up /var so when it went to add some stuff to the Portage folder I got yet another error about not having enough space. What I'd really like to know is how can you just resume the installation without having to start over again, because I've had to insert all 6 CDs about 5 times now.

ok im going for it again ,and no it does not resume it wants the cds again.
its defentley not because of space issues as i have an 880gb disk cut into 3

I don't have ut2004-3236-r1.ebuild on my system... mine is more recent. So, doing 'emerge sync' may help.

I just had to make /opt a symbolic link to /usr/opt because I didn't leave enough space in /. I'm thinking I need to repartition...
