Sure, why not?

It was the only way I had starting out.

Just make sure of how the file is named Win/Dos may try to corrupt it
with its own convention.

Yes.  Download it, save it as a file, and reboot into linux.  Linux
can get files from the windows partition with no problem.

If the part you're having trouble with is accessing the windows
partition, here goes (as root):
        mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt

Where /dev/hda1 is the windows partition and /mnt is where you want to
put it (temporarily).  If you want to do this on a recurring basis,
set up something like /mnt/win95 or /mnt/c or whatever you prefer (or
even /win95 or /c ... no /mnt is required ... whatever you do, you
have to create the dir first).
