What's different with the FC3 partitions than other Linux distros that
use ext3? With g4u, you can actually put it on a DVD/CD. With Fbsd
when I was playing with it, I would set up a small FTP server on my XP
machine and the large files would end up there. I would then just
copy it to a CD/DVD. If it was bigger than a DVD, I would use a
program to split it.
