Phill,

I'll do my best to help with with the download and accessing the files on your
Win98 drive/partition.  I am a newbie as well and have so many problems at the
moment.

Your best bet when downloading is save to your root Win98 directory, I am
guessing that would be C:  This corresponds to /dev/hda1  when in Linux.

Once you have downloaded the file, reboot and enter Linux. change directory to
your root directory by doing the cd .. cd.. cd .. until you reach /
then cd mnt
then mkdir dos (if not already there)

then mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos

you will then find that your C:\ resides in /mnt/dos

Hope that this helped
Andrew
