Use windows and download save file and send it to floppy or write it to cd-rom. I think the rpm file is small enough for a floppy. Look at the size and if it is small enough you can right click on the file and download direct to a floppy. Do not open the file on windows. Some people have problems with the firewall but on my 7.3 I didn't set it up until was on the internet. I use a router and on my 7.3 setup I just clicked on dchp to let it know the netwark card was for internet use. When I closed the program it said set up later. When I was completely loaded I clicked on a web browser and I was on the web. With windows 98 you have to click on lan after loading a network card to use a router. win2000 and xp you are on the internet after loading. Which is why I think if you use the lan rpm and the network card is loaded you will be able to get on the internet with your router. I have found with mandrake and older redhat programs to much information will cause problems with ! a router.
