On the contrary it unzipped it just fine.
I sat and stared at the screen to try to catch any errors, but
all I saw was "creating", "installing" and "inflating".
But after I edited the LINUX.BAT file to reflect the location of
it all, and then tried to boot, I got a lot of
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
and the occasional
INIT: Id "c*" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
where * was variously 1 to 6.
The system would then pause for some time (5 minutes?) and
restart with the same errors repeated.
I tried to Ctrl-Alt-Del, but it responded with
INIT: cannot execute shutdown
Eventually I had to do a hardware reset to break out of it.
I'll keep trying... it may sort itself out eventually.
I also ran UNZIP.EXE to reload it on the Win computer (after
deltree-ing the Linux directory) and it also unzipped without
error. On booting it started up alright.
