I can't answer your first question, but most of the Maximum Linux packages are
in .tar.gz format. As a matter of fact, I had a problem installing from the
CD. I believe it was because of the read/write thing. I just copied the
program into a user directory and installed it through root from the Max Linux
CD. That may not be the best possible solution, but it worked for me.
