A problem I had, which took me ages to understand, was that when I
downloaded the realplayer rpm from real.com and tried to install in linux I
kept getting the error:

blah blah cannot be installed.

I eventually discovered this was because I had downloaded it from Netscape
in windows, and it had defaulted to ASCII mode for the transfer!
If you must use windows to download linux stuff, use an ftp client.
