RE: HELP --- Installation frustration...

Clint,

I am sure there is a utility to unzip files in Linux, but I don't know what
it is. You don't have to download the file again, just mount a DOS formatted
floppy (mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy) and copy the file to that
(umount /mnt/floppy when done). You can then take the floppy to your Windows
machine and do what is needed.
