 ===== Preparation ===== ===== Preparation =====
  
-Some BasiliskII builds for Linux are available.  +Install the BasiliskII package available from the package manager of you distribution. If not available, you might compile your own version.\\ 
 +See this guide: https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/compiling_sheepshaver_basilisk#building_basiliskii_and_sheepshaver_in_linux
  
-We provide a pair of packages that were built on OpenSuse Intel/AMD 64 bit. Find them at our forum entry [[http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6580|BasiliskII for Linux]].  There is a build that runs in full-screen (if you are experiencing bad mouse movement, check the forum notes).  And a build that runs in a window (the full-screen build crashes a lot when running in a window).  These builds are dated 13-09-2010.

-== Networking == 
-If you plan to use the sheep_net driver for networking (see the networking section below for more detail), you can set it up now: 
- 
-Download the sheep_net.ko file for Ubuntu or OpenSuse from the same forum entry and place it in your home folder. Then open a terminal window and execute: 
- 
--sudo insmod sheep_net.ko \\ 
--sudo chown "yourusername" /dev/sheep_net  (this prevents you having to run as root to have network access, but you'll have to perform this step every time before starting Basilisk under a non-root account)

-Now you can configure the emulator.  The following configuration instructions are fairly basic, but should get you going.  Consult the [[sheepshaver_mac_os_x_setup|SheepShaver for Mac OS X]] setup guide for more in-depth instructions (the emulator is set-up in a similar way in both host systems).+The following configuration instructions are fairly basic, but should get you going.  Consult the [[sheepshaver_mac_os_x_setup|SheepShaver for Mac OS X]] setup guide for more in-depth instructions (the emulator is set-up in a similar way in both host systems).

 The "Unix Root" is a shared directory which you can use to transfer files between the emulated system and your host system.  This should probably not be left at default (the default setting is to share your entire system).  Create some directory and point to it, instead.  This is ESPECIALLY important if you are running BasiliskII as root, as in that case the emulator has read-write access to your entire system. The "Unix Root" is a shared directory which you can use to transfer files between the emulated system and your host system.  This should probably not be left at default (the default setting is to share your entire system).  Create some directory and point to it, instead.  This is ESPECIALLY important if you are running BasiliskII as root, as in that case the emulator has read-write access to your entire system.
