+Although the Duke Nukem 3D code has been released under the GPL, the game
+data (graphics, sounds, levels, etc) is still proprietary, (c) 3D Realms.
+
+To play the game, you must provide the data files. There are a couple of
+options:
+
+- Buy the game, and copy DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS file from the game CD to
+ /usr/share/games/eduke32/ or your ~/.eduke32 directory.
+
+ Note: DUKE3D.GRP should be named "duke3d.grp" (lowercase), but DUKE.RTS
+ should be uppercase.
+
+- Use the files from the shareware version, which is still available for
+ download from the 3D Realms site. For convenience, you may install the
+ eduke32_shareware_data package from slackbuilds.org, which simply creates
+ a Slackware package from the files in the shareware Duke3D installer.
+
+For information on playing user-created levels or other Build engine games
+(such as Nam), see http://wiki.eduke32.com/ and http://www.eduke32.com/
+
+If you want to play the HRP (High Resolution Pack), get the
+eduke32_hires_pack package from slackbuilds.org
