Playing the game
However you install the packages, once the installation has completed, you will have a new "Eternal Lands" icon under the "Applications->Games" menu.
If you have played the game before from your current Ubuntu login account, your game personal settings may need to be updated to point at the new installation. When you launch the game, you will be given the option to automatically fix any personal settings.
Using an alternative configuration i.e. server
By default the installed icon will use the "main" configuration settings. This will connect you to the main server. You can easily use other configuration setting (e.g. for alternative servers) by specifying the configuration name as a parameter.
Example, creating a new icon for the pk server
Create a copy of the game icon by dragging it from the "Applications->Games" menu and dropping it on your desktop or on your panel. Then right-click the new icon and select properties. In the command box of the icon properties (that's under the launcher tab for a desktop icon), add " pk" to the end of the command, that's a space and the letters "pk" without the quotes. You can also change the icon text to remind you which server will be used.
Example, connecting to the pk from the command line
Open a terminal and type "eternallands pk", again without the quotes and press return.
