There was an error in the file-name. Should be 4.24 NOT 4.2.4 !
I copied the file on to a floppy, and then un-tarred it from there.

It seems that the "z" in -xvvzf causes the unzip to happen.
Don't know why there has to be two "v"s though. I copied it from the
man page.

Thanks for that. I did eventually manage to unzip and un-tar the file.
I now have all the files waiting to be compiled, but haven't found out yet
whether it then goes into the kernel, or whether it will form an
external driver
file in some other directory. I keep advancing in small steps !
See you Wednesday.
