   First, another solution to the Info-Zip packed ZIP archives is to 
grab ahold of the new PKZIP 2.04c for MS-DOS.  The new Zip correctly 
unpacks the Info-Zip-packed archives.

   Yes, unpack it to a floppy disk, as normal.  With Linux booted, mount

the floppy (enter 'sysinstall' with no parms to give you a help listing;

one of those is the floppy mount switch).  Then do a 'ls' on the '/user'

directory (since that is where sysinstall will mount the floppy).  Then

simply do a 'sysinstall -install <filename>' on all of the *.tar and/or

*.taz files you see in /user.  Voila, you'll have the disk installed.
