I'm supposing this must be a troll, but it's kind of silly even for a troll. It's obvious you don't understand the issue and don't know what you're talking about.
There is no issue of the installation being different on different distributions. The only installation issues are that the installer isn't included on the CDs and that copies of the files don't receive the proper permissions by default. If the installation program were on the CDs, it could take care of copying the files with the proper permission itself.
So you're right in that you can't blame Id much for more than not including the installer on the CDs, but that's pretty much the only issue; there is no "rest."
If you use a better operating system than Linux, I don't think you can play Quake 4 at all. What have they released it for besides Linux and Windows?
