Just thought I'd let you know that I let my nephew play freecraft over the weekend.  I'm still using 0.7.3 and figured out how to make freecraft work.  

You run the freecraft.dsl and then from emelfm, goto /usr/games and double-click on freecraft.  

One problem with it is that it freezes after you get to level 3 or so.  This happened a couple of times and so I made him quit playing.
I turned him into a lover of Quake2 though.  He requested that I make him a copy of the disk.  Maybe I'll make a Linux user out of him.  :)

I add freecraft.dsl to the \optional directory and it shows up in the mydsl menu, but after clicking there I think it shows in the menu, but doesn't actually launch the program.  I have to go into emelfm to that directory (\usr\games) to launch it or go to the command line.

I also figured out the command line to get quake2 to work.
I run the quake2.dsl, open an xterm,  (assuming that in building the DSL.iso that you put the pak0.pak file (48MB) into a new directory called \base2q)
type "sudo cp \cdrom\base2q\pak0.pak \home\dsl\.quake2\base2q"
wait for the copying and then you can launch Quake2 from the CLI or the desktop icon.
You may want to verify this and copy to the info file so it is available to everyone.  Also you might put the URL to the shareware edition in the info file to consolidate this info.
