thanks in advance!!!

According to this page, the game runs ok, but if you are using one of the earlier EeePCs with a screen resolution of 800x480 (you didn't specify), you must bear the following in mind;

Must be run from the commandline the first time “lincity-ng -S 800×480”. Will remember your setting.

As far as a repository goes, I would imagine that it's in the Debian Etch repositories. Your best bet, therefore, would be to use Tweakeee or the pimpmyeee.sh script to add repositories, and then perform the following steps;

Open a terminal window (if you're in "Easy Mode", press CTRL, ALT, and T; if you're in "Full Desktop mode", look in the "Launch" menu), and type the following, pressing enter after each line;

sudo aptitude update

Once it finishes updating your package caches, proceed to the next command;

sudo aptitude install lincity-ng

Now wait for it to do its thing, and watch for any prompts requiring you to take action. When done, you can run the game with;

lincity-ng -S 800x480

This assumes that you're using an EeePC with a screen resolution of 800x480. I would imagine, if you are using one with a resolution of 1024x600, that you should probably run the game with the following command, instead;

lincity-ng -S 1024x600

You should only need to specify the resolution once. I would imagine that every time after that, you can simply run it with;

lincity-ng

If you're using the "Easy Mode" interface, you should also be able to add an icon for the game to it using Tweakeee. If you're in "Full Desktop mode", you can add an icon to the "Launch" menu by following this how-to for the KDE Menu Editor.

I hope this helps.

Awesome, glad to hear it.

For what it's worth, you can apply the above steps (although probably not the resolution option ) to Hedgewars (as per your other thread in this section), too. Simply input sudo aptitude install hedgewars in a terminal window instead.
