Sorry if this isnt allowed or appears to be begging and what not a mod can lock this once my quick question is answered, the forums are just a little cluttered each time i look i come across a bunch of people asking things and going off topic, i only want people who actully know about this posting please dont post with "CAN YOU HELP ME DO THIS TO!!!" and such its easy to find yourself by searching, i just wanted to "Confirmed" this will work before downloading a 700mb file :laugh:

anyway to the question, i was reading that a system running linux cannot be HD Banned by PB, and alot of people speaking of linux emulation on windows using live cds and such, well i googled and am downloading one of the programs called "knoppix" i heard it was one of them or im a complete fool lol...

ok so question time

1. Once installed i can run BF2 from were it is already installed, or will i need to purchase/mod so it can be run on linux and not windows?

2. Installing linux i hear allows pass the HD Ban, although what if more is banned? will it get around them all or only the harddrive, ill still need a new NIC card/Spoof Mac and what not or does it remove the ability to be banned completly.

[knoppix Question]
3. The program im installing is a live cd "knoppix" so it boots up from the cd insted of windows, so if i remove the cd windows will still boot up fine? this is a family pc and i dont think my family want to mess around with linux lol, this will just make things simple for me :D

Thank you for your time :bandit:

EDIT: sorry to mod and admins who feel this is in the wrong section i was torn between were to post anti-cheat or bf2 section feel free to move if necessary

Ok, well, from what i know, BF2 is only for windows, because i was banned from AA, and i also have BF2, and as i see it, BF2 will not work for Linux, cause DX is needed and so on, so i dont think u are going to be able to, but if u find a way, lemme know cause i want to play again =-D

main windows emulator is called wine, you can google that and download it if your distro didnt come with it

What im aiming for is a linux emulator on windows not a windows on linux, becuase its a family machine dont want to uninstall it or nor would people appriciate using linux like i do.. will it still works the same?

Is that the only way no1uknow? i cant install windows, use a linux emulator, play bf2?
