Install dosbox from the command line: '''aptitude install dosbox'''<br /> <br /> 2. Create a directory in the home drive to act as the root of the dosbox C: drive. Mine was named '''dosgames'''.<br /> <br /> 3. Put the Silent Hunter CD in the CD-ROM drive and mount it. (I mounted mine by clicking on it in the Linux file browser, then ran the '''mount''' command to see where it mounted: in my case, /media/cdrom.)<br /> <br /> 4. In a terminal, start dosbox by running the command: '''dosbox -fullscreen'''<br /> <br /> '''At the dosbox prompt:'''<br /> <br /> 5. Mount the dosbox C: drive by running '''mount c ~/dosgames''' (or the name of the directory you created in step 2).<br /> <br /> 6. Mount the CD-ROM drive by running '''mount d /media/cdrom -t cdrom''' (substituting your mount point for /media/cdrom).<br /> <br /> 7. Change to the D: drive.<br /> <br /> 8. Run '''install''' and follow the prompts to install the game. To run the game without the CD, choose the option to install all the files on the hard drive. I went with the defaults for the sound card--and everthing else, for that matter. Return to the dosbox prompt when the install is complete.<br /> <br /> 9. To be able to run the game without the CD present, move to the C: drive and make a new subdirectory named '''BUD''' under C:\SILENT. Then change directories to BUD and copy all the files with .SMK extension from the CD to it: <br /> <br /> '''copy D:\SH\BUD\*.SMK'''. <br /> <br /> 10. Type '''exit''' to return to the Linux terminal.<br /> <br /> '''In Linux:'''<br /> <br /> 11. Edit the file '''C:\SILENT\ShPath.ini'''. Change the line for BUD so it reads:<br /> <br /> '''BUD =BUD\'''<br /> <br /> 12. That does it. Remove the CD from the drive.<br /> <br /> To run the game, start a new dosbox session, map the C: drive as before, then navigate to C:\SILENT and type '''sh''' at the prompt. Good hunting!</div>
