This is probably a silly question. When downloading linux/unix files (i.e.
a .tar.gz or .rpm files) from the internet, is it safe to save them in a
Win95 directory? Is there anything I should do to protect/preserve file
attributes/permissions?
I've got to do this on my home machine as I've got a Winmodem (I know, time
to get a real modem) and I'd like to confirm that I can update my Mandrake
distro safely.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
