Tested it on SuSE 6.1, the most popular distribution in Europe.

A short result after installing with kpackage:

	group games does not exist - using root

	doosh:~ # which cow
	doosh:~ # which netrek
	/usr/games/netrek
	doosh:~ # netrek
	bash: /usr/games/netrek: is a directory

Since I have /usr/games in the path by default, I suggest putting the cow
startup script to /usr/games instead.

You should also add the COW documentation package including a sample
.xtrekrc file.

Sound is missing totally, COW supports 2 different sound schemes. A KDE
based sound package using .wav files like the Windows version and an
generic SUN /dev/audio based one using .au files. which one should be added?

I may provide a script for setting the proper links.

BTW: Please add the cow.spec file to the COW CVS tree.
