- Ok, it's me again, that new user. I found all the sites
- that carry linux stuff, thanks to all who replied. I can
- use linux's kermit to download the smaller things. At
- school, I can use a sparc station to copy the bigger things
- to a floppy disk.
-
- How do I transfer this to my hard disk at home?
- Should I:
- Use dd, then tar xzf, like the installation disks?
- Copy to disk in msdos format, then how do I read them?
-
- Please keep in mind that I haven't tried anything yet, so if
- this sounds like a stupid question, please don't grumble...no
- matter how much of a guru you may be now, you were a beginner
- at some point 8^).

- -Fred again
