If your image file isn't compressed already, I'd suggest just gzip it. Actually I'd have done that at the dd stage: dd <your options> | gzip > myimage.gz Anyway, once the file is created, just use "split" to break it up: split -b 2G myimage.img You probably already have split. I personally wouldn't now compress it if it's isn't already - it'll take ages and it's probably not worth it. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
