12 You may need to install the following packages on your Linux
13 system before starting the installation. Some systems will do

21 </li>
22 <li>

24 SDL 1.2.7 or later. This graphics library is typically
25 called <filepath>libsdl</filepath> or similar.

31 These packages are only required if you want to run the
32 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> graphical user interfaces. In particular,
33 <userinput>VirtualBox</userinput>, the graphical VirtualBox
34 Manager, requires both Qt and SDL. If you only want to run
35 <userinput>VBoxHeadless</userinput>, neither Qt nor SDL are
36 required.
