Part 1: This Part covers obtaining Cedega from the Official Cedega Site

Part 2: This Part covers installing Cedega into Mepis Linux, which will require an apt-get install -f.

Parts 3-4: These two parts cover actually configuring Cedega for use.

Alright, now that we have the Cedega Install file downloaded, we'll cover the install itself.


21: Since I have Firefox set to download to the desktop, Cedega-small_5.2.3_all.deb is there.

Left Click on the .deb file.




22: Kpackage should now open up.





23: Left Click on Install





24: A familiar screen to those who have read the Mepis3 series guides.





25: Left Click on Install





26: Enter your /root password then Left Click on OK





27: On most Mepis Systems Cedega will not cleanly install, and we'll get some errors.





28: We'll need to go down to the Taskbar and find System.





29: Left Click on System to bring up the System Menu





30: Left Click on Terminal Program (Konsole)





31: In the Konsole type in su

yes, we'll be entering /root mode.





32: Enter your /root password, then hit enter on the keyboard.





33: And now, welcome to /root.





34: Lets go ahead and run an apt-get update to make sure we have the latest files available.





35: Wait for the apt-get update to complete.





36: There we go, update complete.





37: Type in clear then hit enter on the keyboard.





38: We should now have a clean Konsole.





39: Now we'll just type in apt-get install -f and hit enter on the keyboard.





40: After a few seconds apt will prompt with a download question.





41: type in Y for yes, then hit enter on the keyboard.





42: This part could take a while depending on your network connection.





43: When apt finishes, Cedega should already be installed.





44: So we can go ahead and Close the Konsole.





45: So, what would we see in Kpackage if Cedega did install correctly?





46: Lets find out. Left Click on Install (again).





47: If Cedega installs correctly on the first go, our terminal output will end with RESULT=0





48: Go ahead and Close out of Kpackage.
