I'm not a windoze user but I would run the command in Gentoo, write down |
| 17 |
the address, boot into windoze and poke it in < I hate this part> IE and |
| 18 |
download it. Then copy it over, ever how he plans to do that too. :/ |

Of course, if he can't or doesn't want to do it that way, I gave him |
| 21 |
another option, just in case. ;-) |
