hello every1,
have a little problem here
i want to backup my computer using gzip, but it tells me that the image file, which i copied to another computer is to big (2 GB). since gzip can handle large files i came to the idea that ext2 cann't handle files larger than 2GB. now my question: how can i start knoppix using a different filesystem?
or is there a function i could split the file in little pieces??
i mountet the other computer on /mnt/test
the command i used was: gzip -9 </dev/hda1 >/mnt/test/image1.gz
thanks for help...
