TY to all for replying. sorry i have not gotten back till now. while i was waiting for my email to get validated, i removed TDM and reinstalled step by step from the wiki and was successful. Since then i have been lost in everything TDM and forgot about my post. I am a noob to linux, stealth games, thief, and TDM. (i have played assassins creed but this is more interesting).I am a terrible at gaming but TDM absorbs me. I am teaching myself about linux and wanted to learn how to do things like install games manually. i probably did not do things just right when manually installing the first time. Now im afraid ive spent more time exploring TDM than linux CLI.
thanks to all
