   The first step would probably be to install Java, so try installing the get-java6-jre-1.0 package first and then try running the client.

   There appear to be many options for installing Minecraft on Linux, a Google search on "minecraft linux usb" has over 29 million results....

   I did get the Minecraft engine running for someone under Bodhi Linux, but they wanted to run the server (so I got that running) and then they wanted to run some .exe files which did not work well with wine, and that is where their interest seems to have faded.

   It looks like an interesting problem - and two lightweight solutions that may suit you is the 'Mineos' and 'Mineos Crux' Minecraft _server_ offerings - http://minecraft.codeemo.com/ (etc)
   I've not tried them yet, but they look worth a try.

   I don't know enough about the game to give definitive answers, but there would appear to be a thriving Linux/Minecraft community out there - good luck!

   The base client is written in Java (so is the basic server), so no need to use the windows exe file at all.

   Yes, its possible. I just tried Minecraft 1.2.3 and it worked fine on Slitaz 3.0 (live-cd).
   You'll need Java, some OpenGL libs and xorg-xrandr - try this:

   Install Java

   'tazpkg get-install get-java6-jre'
   'get-java6-jre'

   Install OpenGL libs

   'tazpkg get-install libglu-mesa'
   'tazpkg get-install mesa'
   'tazpkg get-install mesa-dri'

   Install xorg-xrandr

   'tazpkg get-install xorg-xrandr'

   Run Minecraft

   'java -jar minecraft.jar'

   I hope this helps!
