Well, let's install U-Boat Missions. Remember we didn't start up the game because we want to be absolutely sure that we have purely stock game files when we're done. Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, I downloaded U-boat Missions from Direct2Drive, through the Subsim link (of course). I burned that installation file to a CD and placed that CD in the game box for Silent Hunter for safekeeping. Then I wrote my registration number on the CD while it was sealed inside the box.........something like that.

So what I have done here is put the CD in the disk drive and found the installation file using Ubuntu's (actually GNOME's) Nautilus file manager. We join our action, in progress....

Remember: don't play the game yet. We want to register, install JSGME, MultiSH4 and Large Address Aware, then copy the unplayed, completely stock game to a lock box where we can renew the game forever without ever having to reinstall SH4 again. Next, registering this puppy!
