I just found this thread on the Gentoo forums, which describes how to get BG2 + mods + a 'profile' function which achieves the same as the multi-install tool, without Cedega, and without a Windows partition. It does the same for other Infinity Engine games aswell. [img]smile.gif[/img]
It uses an ebuild, and so it will only work on distros with portage (Gentoo, VeritaLinux, maybe others), which makes me even happier that I use Gentoo. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It might also be possible to migrate those ebuilds to RPM or dpkg, since they would obviously need to install binaries (portage can install binaries or compile source on a package-by-package basis).
