Some have, but they may have missed something.

There are three ways to install Independence. One is with a FTP
install, but it requires a supported NIC. One is with a "built"
distribution, which is made by installing the two big .tar files on top
of a Red Hat 5.2 CD. <This will be missing some patches> The third is
to grab everything in the directory with the two big .tar files. That
is about 400 meg, with the .tar files.
If you FTP everything, there is a very real chance the names will get
massively screwed up. DOS doesn't like more than one "." in a file
name. Neither does Navigator, or IE. They like to change them to "_"
and ignore case. Linux is case sensitive, so this can be a problem.
Does this help?
