What did you use to download the file?  Are you sure that you downloaded 
it in binary?  Better yet, did you untar the file?  For reasons I won't 
go into, the distribution kernel is usually in .tar.gz format, even 
though it's only a single file.  I think there is a version of tar for 
the Mac available, and I seem to remember it working pretty well.

Later.
