No, you don't have to move them as long you can read the Win95 partition
from Linux, and actually...you don't even need long file name support for
RPM to work, but it does make it easier to read the files obviously. RPM
doesn't care where there are for installing. You just need to 'cd' to the
directory the RPM's are in, or if you're using glint, click on
'Configure' and tell it the directory they are in.
