May I know that:
1.Do you download them in WIN-98/2K or in Linux itself? With ADSL connection to ISP or leased line? Do you do it at home? 2.If this is done in Linux, how can you make CD's from them? (I usually make CD with Nero in Windows)
3.If we want to do this in WIN-98/2K, how do you do gunzip and cpio? (with cygwin?) I don't think WINZIP 8.0 can do it.
