Re: [TCLUG:1239] how to break up large rpm?



In a message dated 98-09-16 17:20:58 EDT, you write:

<< tar -cvvMF /dev/fd0 large.rpm  --  >>
Unless you are on dos/Windows. 

In that case see if you can get a program called "split.exe" from 
djgpp's gnu tools.

run split on the binary file and break it down to a managable size
such that it fits on single floppies.

After you get them home just 
cat file1 file2 > file.rpm
and go from there.

Or if you want to reconstruct it again on Windows/dos you can do 
copy /b file1 + /b file2  /b file.rpm

The /b is just binary mode.
