How can I download .tar and .gz compressed files on a Dos system copy them over to my linux system and uncompress them? Is the uncompression built into unix? Also can I interlink my Linux and my Dos system? (my modem is on my Dos system). If you have dos and linux on the same computer, mount your dos partition (something like mount /dev/hda1 /mnt with some parameters which can be checked with a man mount command). Here, /dev/hda1 is your dos C: partition. Then, any binary file within the dos partition can be *read* by linux. It works with any binary data file (bmp, tar.gz files).
