Any suggestions? I downloaded the seven smaller files via Navigator 4.05 (on a Win95 machine) fron CNET and didn't have any problems with the install. I had a problem with running "gunzip gui0*" which I haven't had time to look into (I think it gave me an "invalid format" message). I ended up gunzipping each file individually without any problems. > >Kevin Delany >Another Microsoftie in Rehab > >Louis Hissink wrote: > >> Quick note to thank all the tips and advice. >> >> I ended up downloading the big file and just installed it OK this >> morning. >> >> Netscape unzips the file while downloading, a bit of a trap for a >> brainwashed microsoftie, and the rest was pretty easy to sort out. >> >> Have a great Xmas ! >> >> Louis Hissink >> Consulting Geologist. diamonds. >> Sydney > >
