Here is what I got: C compliler, C++ compiler RHIDE Allegro All in all there were probably 8 zip files to download, fairly quick on a network connection too. As for installing it, very easy also. Just read the FAQ, then unzip the files using PKUNZIP *.zip -d. If you want to program games in Allegro, just go to /Allegro and type make and then the name of the file in there. Das it.
