Installing zipspeak

[Gary Wynn]

Hi, Jude,
 
Whoa!  Remember, I am a *real* newbie! This was a good day, so, with only
a
little help from my friends, I got FTP to work, and retrieved the file!
 
Thank you for the step by step message on how to proceed, but I need to
ask
some questions before I get in trouble, which is easy for me to do.  I can
crash Linux, and I have even managed to get it to apparently corrupt my
password file so I cannot get into linux again.
 
First, I had better explain about my PC. I use an extended partition with
multiple logical drives.  When you say the root directory, you must mean
drive C, as your later directions show it.  Will this be a problem that I
have
drives D-K defined?  Drive D is actually a partition on a separate
physical
 drive.
 
What will happen to DOS, and all the other things on C:??
I have a 255 meg partition for the C drive.  There is more than 220 mb
available.  Is this enough?
 
The D: drive has 2GB on it, and less than 300 mb is being used for
utilities
and such.
 
The command:
 
 PKUNZIP -DO zipspeak.zip 
 
is a command, I take it.  When you
write for nuewbies using speech, remember to put commands on a line by
themselves.  I know PKZIP, and many of its parameters, but this in a
sentence
almost slipped by me.  The synthesizer read it as "DO".
 
I caught it because you write well, and I have read enough of your
messages
over several years to know it was not a typo.  I looked more carefully,
and
recalled the parameter.
 
I run a Lite Talk as you do.  I will need those same files. Where is
Matt's
site?  In what directory should I look? 
 
My FTP is primitive.  It will only accept the hostname, and port on an
open
command. I have to login, and then do a cd, to the right directory.  This
is
not NCFTP!
 
When I do manage to get this put together, . . . 
What exactly will happen?--or should I say "should happen"?? --when this
thing boots up?  
 
I think I should take a little time to do this, and back up my files
first. 
Mr. Murphy and I are on great terms. He visits me daily.  He is a great
magician.  He has been known to turn innocent software into digital snakes
in
my machine that have a nasty "byte"!
