 I am sorry to report that Charles is correct.

I just D/Led and tested each of the "kernel only" zip files.
They seem to be fine....(on the surface that-is)
Each zip file contains command.com, both boot files and a copy of sys.com
Further inspection reveals that all of those files are corrupted.
So, the zip files seem to have been uploaded correctly to the ftp site.
But, the files within the zip files must have been corrupted before
being zipped.

I'll send a CC of this to Lineo.

To whom it may concern at Lineo......

 Please, if you would so kind as to fix the files in this directory of
your ftp site.
ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/devsup/drdos/

You might be surprised at how many of us "DOS junkies" out here would LOVE
to have a copy of these old versions of DR-DOS and Novell-DOS.

 Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
