Dovresti essere più preciso e dirmi se ti da qualke errore o qualcosa d'altro. Prova qui :

ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/unix/linux/distributions/plf/mandrake/10.1/i586/

qui trovi i pacchetti per la 10.1, ma ci sono anke per la 10.
Scarica tutti i pacchetti 3.21 e installali, non hai neanke bisogno di copiare nulla dal cdrom del gioco..
Fammi sapere

In /home/marco/:quake2/baseq2 c'è il file di testo config.cfg ?
Se si, ha i permessi necessari (rw per tutti) ?
Se non lo hai prova a usare questo .
