I've downloaded kde packages and would like to transfer them to another box to try installing them there. I can use only 1.44 floppies. So far I've not been able to copy the smaller files successfully - the problem shows itself when trying to mount the floppy after apparently copying the files there. As there's nothing wrong with /etc/fstab or the kernel compile for filesystems, I wonder if in fact copying has been done correctly.
With .tar.gz files, I've done this without difficulty, and with larger files using 'split', copying the parts to floppies and rejoining by 'cat'ing on the second machine works. I can't get anything to work with the debianized kde files, and so I suspect I'm trying to do something which is not possible, or that I'm going about it the wrong way. I could, of course, download again on the second box if necessary, but I'd prefer to solve this problem if it can be done. Now I'm starting to 'flex my muscles' I appear to get a problem a day. Will anyone point me in the right direction, please. Regards, John.
