If you're looking at long-term, I would suggest installing a separate machine or chroot or VM, which will not be updated. If you keep it long enough, the main system is going to get to the point where either hedgewars doesn't work or your regular apps don't work. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
