You have to mount the ms-dos partition; hopefully your kernel has been
configured to do that.
Try 'mount -t msdos /dev/hd{x} /mnt', where hd{x} is /hda1, etc (depending
on the drive number and partition number. If you have one hard drive and
the first partition is dos, it would be /dev/hda1.
Then you should be able to see the partition from Linux. Try 'ls -al
/mnt/<filename.zip> to see if it is recognized. Copy it to one of your
Linux directories (with cp) and unzip it with the unzip command.

I agree that it would be useful for the beginner, but haven't seen one.
