+Download these into your Documents directory.
+
+Install any required packages:
+
+Type in: sudo apt-get install gcc make ed sed
+
+TIP: If using Arch Linux type: sudo pacman -S gcc make ed sed
+
+If it reports you already have the latest that is OK.
+
+Setup downloaded packages:
+
+Open a terminal window.
+
+Type in: tar -xvf System-V-r3-3b2400-64bit.tar
+
+If you also downloaded 3b2-700
+   Type: tar -xvf System-V-r3-3b2700-64bit.tar
+
+Type in: gunzip open-simh-012024.tar.gz     To be updated
+
+Type in: tar -xf open-simh-012024.tar
+
+Type in: cd open-simh-simh-c077c22
+
+Build the runtime modules:
+
+Type in: make 3b2
+
+If this is a 32 bit machine instead type: make WARNINGS=ALLOWED 3b2
+   This will generate warning messages. You can ignore these.
+  
+Type in: cp BIN/3b2-400 ~/System-V-r3-3b2400-runtime/.
+
+If you downloaded 3b2-700 do the following:
+   make 3b2-700
+   If this is a 32bit machine type in: make 3b2-700 WARNINGS=ALLOWED
+   This will generate warning messages. You can ignore these.
+   cp BIN/3b2-700 ~/System-V-r3-3b2700-runtime/.
+
+Setup is complete. Congratulations.
+
+Running Unix. These are the only steps required to run next time.
+
+Open a terminal window using a terminal emulator like LX-terminal or Mate-terminal.
+
+When the $ prompt appears continue.
+
+Type in: cd ~/System-V-r3-3b2400-runtime
+   or  : cd ~/System-V-r3-3b2700-runtime   if installed
+   
+TIP: If running on a non GUI system adjust screen size to 80x24 so vi works.
+     If on a non GUI system with vi stick with - to backup one line, Enter to go to the
+     next line, space bar to move into the line, a to append, dd to delete, i to insert,
+     r to replace 1 character under cursor, R to overwrite from cursor forward, x to erase
+     one character and :w to write the file and :q! to quit without saving and Esc to exit
+     intsert or append mode.
+     
+TIP: If running Arch Linux expect "egrep warning messages" at startup. These can be ignored.
+
+To Start Unix type in: ./unix
+
+Unix will start automatically setting Unix date/time and logging you in as root.
+
+Note that startup time may be as long as 5 minutes. Observe on screen messages.
+
+Follow on screen directions.
+
+Good luck.
+
+If you plan on using putty do the following:
+ 
+If putty is not installed type: sudo apt-get install putty
+TIP: If running Arch Linux type: sudo pacman -S putty
+   mkdir ~/.putty
+   mkdir ~/.putty/sessions
+   cp putty.defs ~/.putty/sessions/telnet2323
+
+If putty is aleady installed type : cp putty.defs ~/.putty/session/telnet2323
+
+To use putty type: putty and select the telnet2323 entry and click open.
+   You can login as guest with no password.
+   To exit right click on the title bar and click close.
