I'm not sure what quoting me means.... Is it like saying, "Okay, sounds good!", or is it like saying "Eh? What?"
If you don't have the cd (or not cd drive) you can get the files you need by mounting the iso (assuming you have another os running on the computer).
First, you'd download the iso file (the file you burn to the cd). Then, if you're in linux, you mount it. Sunburnt wrote an app for that I believe. Otherwise you can use mount <isofile> /mnt/data -o loop. Then the files would be in /mnt/data. From Windows, there is a program called 'IsoBuster' that can extract files from an iso. I don't know about from things like BSD or Mac, but I think they would be similar to the mount command.
Maybe the phrase 'top of the partition' isn't clear enough? It means the top of the filetree. As in C: in Windows, or /mnt/home/ Puppy, or / in a normal Linux.
I'm out of ideas now, so you're going to have to do better than quoting my post if I haven't helped you yet. An explanation would be nice.
