It should just be a matter of copying the pak files from the CD
(or a Windows install) to your baseq2 directory. For instance :

cp /media/cdrom/Install/Data/baseq2/*pak /usr/local/games/quake2/baseq2/

Make sure the pak files are then readable by your user.
My RPM sets up a menu entry under Games. Use that or run 'quake2' or
'sdlquake2' from /usr/local/games/quake2.

I was lucky to buy the "Quake 2 Colossus for Linux" box a few years ago,
which includes RPMs for the data files, so I never had to do that. But
that should do it.

I hope this helps.
