When i needed to do this, getting dpkg-split onto the system required solving the floppy-split first . . .
Anyway, i downloaded the package (perl if i recall), used "split" to break it into 1.4m pieces, moved these floppy by floppy, then used "cat" to put them back together. split generates packages with sequential names: mysplitAA, mysplitAB, or somesuch, so "cat mysplit* > myslit.all" puts them back together in the right order. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
