It will begin verifying the installer (be patient, this will take a short while). Read the License Agreement (a copy can be accessed online at the website as well as in the program directories).

• Component selection. Note that the Vega Strike files are required to play Vega Strike, and that the music files are recommended for full immersion in the game.

RPM (Red_Hat Package Manager .rpm)
