No problem Jase. Assuming the tar.gz file is smaller than 1.4 meg
you can format a floppy on your Windows 95 machine or in Linux. They are
exactly the same (almost).

        Now put the floppy into the drive on Linux and type this:

        mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt

Now you will see the tar.gz file in the Linux directory /mnt. All you need
to do is cp it to the proper directory.
