I'm not sure whether I understand what you're saying or not but... Are
you saying that you downloaded netscape communicator into the /tmp
directory, then rebooted into Windows 95/98, returned to linux, and
discovered that the file was gone?
If so, then the explanation is easy. The /tmp directory is for files which
are not meant to hang around for a long time. I think what happens
is that when the machine is rebooted, debian linux is configured to delete
everything in the /tmp directory.
Unfortunately I think you will need to download the file again. The
best thing to do is to download it into a different directory, and then
copy it across to /tmp just before you try and install it.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
