I have installed Debian Linux on a PC that does not have a modem and is
not on a LAN,  using floppy disks I created on my PC with a modem.  How
do I install packages via floppy disks that are larger than 1.44MB?  Is
there a DOS utility that I can use to split these files across several
disks?  Thanks.
