You have 2 possibilities:
- Unzip the files in linux, so you don't have any problem
- Mount the disk as vfat (the win95 filesystem), not as msdos, but to do
that you must have a kernel with vfat support enabled, and do: mount -t
vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt
- Use a version of mtools that support vfat, so issuing mcopy
a:/rt-linux/* .
but this option dont recurse subdirs.

Well I don't know exactly what this, but in the README file is an
explanation very clear of what to do to have RT-Linux running
Hope this helps
