transfering files from win98 to zipslack

[syphr1ogic]

I guess this can go over here

I'm trying to install my wireless network card in zipslack. So I need to dl the files in windows and copy them to the linux dir. This is because the wireless nic is the only nic I have in the system. Problem is that when I boot up zipslack, it changes the names of the files I put in the linux dir. Due to the screwed up naming scheme, the file is rendered usless in zipslack. Can anyone help me out here to get these files transfered or tell me what i'm doing wrong?

btw: the drivers are linux drivers and packed in .tar.gz format

I have never gotten around to running zipslack, but you might can try this:
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount /dev/hda? (insert appriate hda) /mnt/windows

well win98 and zipslack are on the same parition. I can reach the c:\ root by going to the directory /DOS. its just the screwed up naming convention that zipslack uses that reders the files useless

ok, I looked it up...

you can't have them in the linux folder upon boot up... you put them into the linux folder after you have booted into zipslack
