Re: Problems with PEAR installer...

As I said in my original e-mail, I've got a Win2K system. This makes running lynx and piping the output to sh a bit difficult, not least because Win2K doesn't support pipes, and if I wasn't on Windows I'd have tried the aforementioned already. ;-) Is there something - anything - else that I can do to solve the problem?
