Inside you will find a file called several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the `unix_v5_rk.dsk` file into it. + +Now we will create a config file for our VM.

Then you can follow the above tutorial as usual. The shell script will not work on Windows. You need to rename it to `unix-v5.bat`.
