File integrity problems with IE
Hi everyone...
I have question. I saw an article sometime ago stating that there were problems when you DL Linux files from a WinXP machine using IE and then put them on a USB Key or CD and take them to a Linux. It seems to me there is a workaround for that.. Can anyone tell me? I have a installed Feather Linux machine on my laptop. Part of what makes it "Feather" is the fact that I have to install dpkg on my own. I DL them using IE. Put them on my USBKey. They show up at dpkg.tar.bz2. I hit tar -jxvf dpkg.tar.bz2 and it comes up as corrupted stating to bziperecover them. I do the bziprecover and get 20 some files rec001blahblah.tar.bz2 but then I dont know what to do with them from there... I bow at the alter of Linux greatness and humbly ask for HELPPP!!! pulling out whats left of my hair... chipymunk |

Or do what every window$ user should do, NEVER use IE. Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, and Opera all have free window$ browsers that are more secure, won't corrupt your downloads for linux, and don't have an incestuous relationship with your OS.

I agree however my IT guy at work would have a kiniption to say the least if I switched his computer to Firefox...
So I'm back where I was.. there's got to be a workaround for this... Its worked for me with previous installations but all the sudden its not working anymore... |
