* '''ROM file''':

** Add the install CD: Click 'Add…', and select the MacOS 7.6 ISO you downloaded.
** Add the hard disk: Click 'Create…', and find a place to put it, and give it a name. 200MB is plenty of space.
** If you're on Mac or Linux set the 'Unix Root' path some somewhere useful, EG <code>/home/[username]/.local/share/Basilisk II</code>. You will be able to access this from within the emulator, so you can transfer files easily.
