.cab is the type of file thats used to install programs on ppc. You can find cab files on developers websites or other web sites. There are even some websites that just host .cab files.

You don't need a computer to install a .cab file. For the most part, whenever you see an exe you need a computer with active sync to install it. When you open up the exe on your computer the cab is transfered to your ppc and installed. As psionandy said always go for the xscale, and if not found go for arm.

Usually the PC installer EXEs contain the arm, xscale, mps and sh3 cabs. Once you open up the EXE, activesync picks the appropiate cab type and transfers it to your ppc to be installed.
I hope that made sense.....
