Q: Saving large files on multiple floppies, how?

[FamilyCompany]

Hello everybody,
Is there a program that will take a multi-megabyte .tar.gz file and break it up to span multiple floppy disks?

Where do I find it online?

My environment is Fedora Core 2.

Thanks!

Spanning multiple volumes is what the tar (tape archive) utility was built for. Unfortunately, it can't do that with the -z (gzip) option... one method you could use is to split the file and then use cat to merge it back together.

you might also take a look at "rar".

it is NOT part of the fedora distro, (licensing issues etc) but is available for free download.

pretty sure you can find it here http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

unfortunately, it's command line only, but it really is a pretty simple tool to use.
