May I be the first to respond to this...

First, this is the wrong place to look. This mailing list is for kernel
related topics.

Second, what distribution? If you only have a windows system to download
and burn with, you'll seriously want to look at buying a $2.00 cdrom since
windows usually munges case on packages and always drops extentions in
names when there are 2 dots. For example:

this-really-long-package-name.version.extention
will be changed to something like
This-really-long-package-name.version

Windows doesn't care about case. Now when I was in school, if your teacher
told you to write a sentance or otherwise, you got in trouble if you messed
up the case.

If you want more help, reply to me and not the list and I'll be happy to
assist.
