Does anyone have any idea how to get the game installed at all?

From terminal:
[Matthew@fedora ~]$ wget http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/linux/eve-000066-1.i386.rpm
[Matthew@fedora ~]$ su
enter root password when prompted [root@fedora Matthew]# rpm -ivh eve-000066-1.i386.rpm
[root@fedora Matthew]# su Matthew
obviously su to the user you want to install eve as.
[Matthew@fedora ~]$ eve
this fires up the cedaga installer if your having problems up to this point I could write a bash script but seriously nothing complicated here...
-accept license agreement -select single user -select download from internet installer downloads necessary files for you
My current kernel version [Matthew@fedora ~]$ uname -r 2.6.23.12-52.fc7
Make sure you have the right graphics card drivers installed too for Nvidia
[Matthew@fedora root]$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia-169.07-1.2.6.23.12_52.fc7 and [Matthew@fedora root]$ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-169.07-4.lvn7
I use the Nvidia drivers that have been packaged by Livna
- A few other notes and caveats, if you want a multiuser install you need to switch back to root and run 'eve' I highly recommend against this as running anything as root is a severe security risk and should be avoided at all costs. Note to ccp it would be a good idea to modify the installer to hook into to something like PolicyKit to do privilege escalation, that way you can run the installer as an unprivelleged user and still perform a multiuser install, reccomending you users run the installer as root is a bad bad thing imo.

Yay
if anyone else has any questions about it let me know, these instructions should work on Fedora 8 and Rawhide as well though I'm not sure if Cedaga's config will work with the pulseaudio sound backend, may need to switch to ASLA something for me to test later :)
If you are getting bizarre SELinux audit denials, which you shouldn't see under single user installs, but I have seen them occasionally under multiuser installs, you can force SELinux into permissive mode by running:
[Matthew@fedora ~]$ system-config-selinux
