Yes. Just make sure that whatever download method you use -- ftp or http,
most likely -- downloads the .rpms as binary files, not as text. (This can
be a problem with some misconfigured Web servers.)
But how do you plan to "take it" to the Linux machine? Many .rpm packages
are too large to fit on a floppy.
