    Dear friend,

    After an rpm -q split search in Fedora Core 2, I found that the program
    isn't installed.

    In my Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge) is a default command. Today, with the
    every day growing hardware capabilities it is rarely used. In the "good
    old times" (:-) it was a very useful command.

    Let us soppose that you have a very "big" .mp3 sound file of circa 4.3
    Mb and you want to transfer it from your desktop to your laptop, your
    desktop and laptop aren't connected to a net and your laptop hasn't a
    cdrom (A very unusual situation nowadays).

    The solution was very simple:

    $ split -b1m big.mp3 big.mp3 [RET]

    This command creat 4 new files: 3 of 1 MB and 1 with the rest.

    You can then copy the first 3 files in 3 floppys (1.44 MB) and the last
    one with the rest.

    Copy them all to your laptop and then reconstruct the original file with
    the cat command:

    $ cat big.mp3* > big.mp3 [RET]
    $ rm big.mp3* [RET]

    This last step is only to save space after the original file has been
    reconstructed.

    Post scriptum: Ok, I know that this is a Fedora Core mail list, but all
    we are members of the GNU/Linux brotherhood, :-). And, by the way, I
    only use Ogg Vorbis psico-acustic lossy compresion algorithm.

    Regards,
