gamehead200 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hey guys,Trying to figure out how to split a disk image (.dmg) file into two files. Its a 6GB file and it won't fit on my external drive as it is FAT32 formatted, and as we all know, the maximum size for a file on FAT drives is 4GB.Any ideas?Thanks.

EchoNoise Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm pretty sure that there are Splitters out there... Have you tried StuffIT?... I think that splits files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) Here's one, but it's 3Mb which is surprisingly large for a file-splitter: http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/Since OS X is Linux based you can just use the appropriately named split command.

How do I merge the two files later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) With cat... which stands for "concatenate".http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?cate.g. cat file.part1 file.part2 > wholefile will join the two parts together in order to form wholefile.
