This = your problem.  WinZip uses \n to \r\n conversion by default.  Be
sure to turn off the conversion.

Alternatives, use tar with gzip or bzip2 compression.  Copy the tarball to
diskette or USB drive with a copy of gzip.exe or bzip2.exe, tar.exe and
msys-1.0.dll to a folder on the diskette (do not put msys-1.0.dll, gzip,
etc at the root of the diskette).  It the created folder you also need to
mkdir etc/.
