Re: OT: How to split the ubuntu-studio iso file
Yeah, and if I could afford that, I could probably get a 2gib flash drive too... :-( I'll try to get a portable console 7zip and maybe try it too. And maybe I'll just stop waiting for XP SP3, it's way too late... Thanks! On Sat, May 3, 2008 at 3:19 PM, Gustin Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just get 7zip. You can run the console based version right off the flash drive without installing it. It can create volumes of a user specified size. The other option is to install cygwin into a flash drive (or usb hd) which can give you access to some of these handy gnu tools at the cost of a lot of space (fat32 is not at all efficient at storing a bunch of small files, so a cygwin install uses more space than it needs to because of fat32 limitations). The advantage of 7zip is that it is cross platform, free as in libre as well as beer. If you can afford it, a 2.5 usb hd that is powered from the usb port is a good idea. I use mine almost everyday (even better you can store vmware player or qemu on it and run a linux VM from your flash drive without modifying the host OS). Of course 80+ GB of storage in a small form factor is handy too. Hth, Christopher Stamper wrote: | Thanks Sean.

Re: OT: How to split the ubuntu-studio iso file
To the original individual with the questions: The split command will do it, if you are able to access the file on a *nix system and if you are simply needing to transfer it over from one computer to another. You could also try installing a small *nix set-up on your flash drive for transferring files over from one computer to another. If that doesn't work, the split command might still come in handy at some point down the road. You'd like to split an iso file: file.iso = 1.1GB You can split it into multiple smaller files: split -b 680m file.iso (You can use an amount other than 680.) (The -b = bytes (size) of each split file.) (k for KB, m for MB, etc... k, m, g, t, p, e, z, y.) The output files: xaa xab xac (etc.) (You might want to rename those to something like xaa_filename xab_filename etc., though that may not be necessary if this is the only file you're splitting.) Later, after transferring the files from one computer to another: cat xaa xab xac file.iso or: cat xa* file.iso This will put it back into the original state. It can help when using a flash drive, though you might have to make multiple file transfers to and from the different mediums. In any case, that's split and cat.

OT: How to split the ubuntu-studio iso file
Well, 8.04 is finally out! The problem is, I have dialup. So I need to go to our library and download it on my 1gb flash drive. But it's too big. It there a way to split the iso into smaller chunks, preferably with an app I can run of of my flash drive? I have two 1gb flash drives, and a 512mb.

Re: OT: How to split the ubuntu-studio iso file
I'll be using a public Window$ XP SP1 PC, with hardly any privileges. No fun wget's for me... :-( I'm looking around, it seems to be possible. But it needs to be portable, (on my flash drive {no privileges}) so it's kinda hard. Maybe impossible. I was just hoping someone else had done this. On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 3:19 PM, Cory K.

what about opening the ISO splitting the files in 2 folders, create 2 archives, move them back home, putting them together, create a new iso and burn a dvd?
