TAR question..
 
I have 1 ISO file which is 600MB. Now I want to split it so people can download easy(especially 56K users). What command should I type if I want to split this file to multiple 20MB files?

Thanks

Code:
split --bytes=20971520 inputfile output
will split inputfile into 20MB chunks called outputa, outputb, outputc etc...
use cat to join them together again.

looking at the man page, --bytes=20m will also do 20MB

Tell users to use wget and continue the download
whereever they stopped/got disconnected... :)
