By default Knoppix mounts all drives read-only, so I'm guessing the error is that it's unable to write somefile.bz2 to a read-only drive (though if you provided the actual error message I could be more certain). If the drive is something Linux can write to (i.e. not NTFS), you can remount it read/write from the file manager (right-click and it'll be an option in the context menu).
I know about the �read-only� problem with Knoppix because that was one of my first problems I encounter with that OS.
Solution:
1- mount the hard drive and remove the �read only� 2- write : sudo mount �o remount,rw /dev/hdg1 /mnt/hdg1
(hdg1 is my hdd)
After doing that I could write with no problem on the hard drive.
My drive is NTFS because if it was on a FAT32 it would be impossible for me to have a single file larger then 4 GB.
You can also concatenate files from a command line in Windows (go to start->run and enter "cmd" to get there) by doing: copy xaa+xab+xac+xad+xae somefile.bz2
I have tried that alrady by doing: copy /b xaa+xab+xac+xad+xae somefile.bz2 but strangely I get a file somefile.bz2 but with the size of 1 KB
(I'm not sure what utilities on Windows can decompress bzip2 files though.)
To decompress a bzip2 file you can use WinRar or Bzip for Windows
bzip2 works nicely. Google it up to find the main
site, there's a win32 ..exe. Or get cygwin for a full suite of Unix tools, and do: cat xa? | bzip2 -dc > big_darn_file.sql
I will that tomorrow, Thanks!
