Hi all, I recently had a play with Mandrake 9.0 and although not bad is not 
imho as good as Suse 8.

However there was a rather nice scrolling, space shoot em up game that was 
with mandrake called Chromium.

So I went off and found the source for the game, compiled it and am happily 
running it under Suse but with one problem.

I can only run the game if I am physically in the dir that the binary is. The 
readme says I have to set some Environment Variables so that it can find the 
data required no matter what dir I am in.

My question is how do I set these "Environment Variables" ?

btw this is the bit about the environment vars here quoted from the readme

Environment Variables:

* CHROMIUM_SCORE - By default,  high scores are kept in the
                   ~/.chromium-score file. If the CHROMIUM_SCORE env
                   var is set, Chromium will use that filename instead.
                   (for example, if you want to compete w/ friends for
                   high scores)
* CHROMIUM_DATA  - directory name where data files are kept. By default,
                   Chromium will look for ../data.


Thanks, Glenn
