The simplest work-around would be to download in Win98, then email the file
to yourself, and pick it up in Linux. This presumes that you can get email
in Linux at this time. I have had to do this a few times while I was getting
OS's to work, and it's easier than setting up a permanent interface, or a
NFS volume accessible from both OS's.
