Actually I think it's 9600, not 115200, on the RaQ 2... ?  been so long though 
that i can't recall...

You can use the serial port connection in single user mode to check the 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and make sure it's assigned 
properly.  also try manually starting /etc/rc.d/init.d/network and then bring 
up eth0 (ifup eth0).

Yes, uncompress to give a .iso file, then use your cd burning software to burn 
from an ISO image (don't just burn it as a file onto the CD).  And yes, 
winzip "speaks" gzip.
