I build daily from the daily snapshots. I used to do a daily cvs update, but
the sourceforge anonymous cvs is really screwed up right now - have to retry too
many times to connect, data is 24h behind, and from today it also gives connection
refused. so i just use the daily source tarballs.

yep, thanks, got it to work. :-)

I hate to play from CD, because my laptop's cd drive is too noisy and don't
want to carry all the cd's with me anyway.

isn't the format Revolution's, or they licensed it from someone?

yeah, saw the subtitles, but nothing else from the intro. still, way cool,
now I am able to play it without booting to w2k.
any plans to support Broken Sword I?
