Yes: this is exactely what I've done. Downloaded it at the office, on a zip
drive (connection faster...) and brought it home, opened the same zip disk
under Linux, copied the file, and unzipped/untarred the file as suggested on
Corel site.  Upon install, make sure you allow user to read/write/execute...

Hope this help,

Robert
