Is it possible to split files that are too large to fit on a single cd or floppy?

and then aRTee said:

There is the simple command

split

that allows to split files up in parts.

man split

to find out more.

You don't need anything fancy for such a simple action.

and then anon said:

I use "splitpea" a command line tool. Example, say you have a 100MB file

splitpea -s name_of_file

Will split the file into 1MB files. To join together again, simply do;

splitpea -j name_of_file

and that's all they said about that.
