Creating a spanning archive with tar
The subject is pretty self explanatory, I've downloaded something at work and need to fit it onto a 128 mb flash disk, the file is 130mb... so I need to be able to create a spanning archive with tar. Looked at the wiki and man pages and couldn't see anything (didn't understand maybe?)
Commands would be appreciated! Dave |
Use the "split" utility to uhh.. split the tar file :)

wicked, now that I've broken humpty dumpty how do I put him back together again? And how did you find that command !?! Years of linux is my guess ;)
edit: okay I tried "cat file1 file2" and it printed to screen, not pretty seeing 130mb. any suggestions |
Try
Code:
cat file1 file2 > allfiles |
Only two files to recombine? You must have missed the fun of splitting a copy of the kernel source tar archive so that it'd fit on 1.44MB floppies. I'm still running across old AOL floppies that have "xaf", "xag", etc. scrawled across the label. :)
