RE: [newbie] the downloaded targz file via windowME can not be read by linux(...

CD-RW disks and Direct CD dont write to a Cd in a standard ISO9660 format.. They use UFS, which is the same filesystem that DVDs use.. I dont know if a 2.2.x kernel can read UFS or not.. I think UFS support was added into 2.4..

That is probably why you cant read the file.. You might try burning the file to a standard CD-R using Adaptec Easy CD or Nero..
