well, less of a "problem" than more kind of "experimenting" for me, as I knew it that I can not get FC2.0 started as standalone game (a Russian version is, if i got it correct). I was just curious if I would have to acquire FC1, as I only had hardcopy of LOMAC1.0. but as Renato explained, all that can be bypassed by installing FC1 without starting/activating and then installing FC2.0 on top of it.
