 2.3 Checkpoint Stations
 
-
 Checkpoint stations (the small blue item in the rail construction window) are small 1x1 stations. They must be built on top of pre-existing track. They do not accept or produce carge of any kind. They exist solely for use as route points. They become useful when dealing with large networks  where trains may attempt to route themselves along undesirable or impossible routes. As an alternative to checkpoint stations, you can also direct trains to visit depots along the way. This has the advantage of also servicing the train and hence the train will rarely to never need to depart from its route to be serviced.

-Compiling and developing OpenTTD on MandrakeLinux 10.0 Official
-
-A quick guide to get started with OpenTTD development on Linux.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-1.) RPMs:
-
-Most packages that are required for development (like gcc) should already be installed on your box. You will require those RPMs additionally:
-- libsdl1.2-devel-1.2.7-2mdk
-- subversion-1.0.1-1mdk (+ dependencies)
-- libsvn_ra_svn1_0-1.0.1-1mdk
-
-
-2.) Subversion:
-
-To obtain the source code from the subversion server type
-  $ svn co svn://svn.openttd.com/openttd/trunk openttd
-from command line to dump the code into the directory 'openttd'.
-
-To update your working copy to the latest revision use
-  $ svn update
-Don't worry, your version will be merged with the latest version.
-
-The command
-  $ svn diff > mypatch.diff
-creates a patch file (aka diff file) which you can submit to the developers to share your improvements.
-
-You can undo changes to a file with
-  $svn revert filename
-
-
-3.) Required data files:
-
-Copy the following files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe to openttd/data/
-  sample.cat
-  trg1r.grf
-  trgcr.grf
-  trghr.grf
-  trgir.grf
-  trgtr.grf
-
-(Alternatively you can use the TTD GRF files from the DOS version: TRG1.GRF, TRGC.GRF, TRGH.GRF, TRGI.GRF, TRGT.GRF. A few minor graphical glitches with the DOS graphics remain. E.g. the autorail button in the rail toolbar doesn't look as nice as with the Windows graphics.)
-
-
-4.) Compiling and running:
-
-Compile OpenTTD with
-  $ make
-and run it with
-  $ ./ttd
-
-
-5.) Playing the soundtrack:
-
-If you want the original TTD music you need to copy the whole /gm/ directory from Windows. Additionally the TiMidity driver is required:
-  TiMidity++-2.12.0-0.pre1.4mdk (+ dependencies)
-To run OpenTTD with music support type
-  $ ./ttd -m extmidi
-
