I've rescued a Toshiba 486 (200Mb HDD) from a skip at work, and have the basic debian dist installed. I now have either to create a mirror on the HDD and install the packages from there (I think I understand how to do this - split and cat from the CD-ROM on my main machine). However, I'm sure it's possible to run floppy installs from dselect, but don't understand how to prepare floppies for those packages that are too big to fit on a single floppy. Is there a naming protocol for splitting these files or am I missing something really obvious.
