Option 1. "split" files into small files and move by floppy. dos program should be available somewhere or use cygwin Merging shall be something like: $ cat file1 file2 >merged-file > copy /b file1 file2 merged-file Option 2. Open box and unplug harddisk. For deb -> win, make small vfat directory and drop files. move drive to win machine and boot and read. For win -> deb move hdd to deb side and mount it and read Anyway, you seem to have a lot of hardware problems. Fix it first by moving/borrowing cdrom drive. Slow cdrom and ethernet card cost less than $30 only each. 4 hours of work for each at humberger shop. :) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/ +
