came across this gem after i needed to split up the 3.6 gig ut2004 iso i had on my mom's computer to put on my own.

 

to split up large files into smaller files and then join them back together all you have to do is

cd to directory where you want the split files to go
split -b 650m /path/to/file/being/split

to join the files together again use the cat command

cat xaa xab xac

where xaa, xab etc are the name of the files after splitting

In a console try

man split

or in konqueror type

man: split

to see more options :D
