Is there a way to split a tar or gzipped tar file into several files, to be rejoined later on another hard drive? For example, given file.tgz which is 10 MB in size, is there a way I could divide it into 10 files, each of which fits on a 1.44 MB diskette (called file-1 ...file-10), to be rejoined later into the original 10 MB file?

Thanks

man split You can split it in a lot of file For join, use cat example for join: part01 part02 part03 Original name: xyz.zip cat part01 > xyz.zip cat part02 >> xyz.zip cat part03 >> xyz.zip -- www.geekcode.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/cc/e/it d++ s+:+ a-- C++$ UL+++$ E++ W+++$ w--- O---- M V- PS PE+++ Y+ PGP- t+ 5 X++ R tv+ b++ DI-- D+ G e++$ h! r++ y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ - A veces creo que hay vida en otros planetas, y a veces creo que no.

An example: split -b 1440k file.tar.gz file_ cat file_* > newfile.tar.gz -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
