So this is what I did. I right-clicked on a folder and selected the
option "create archive". It created the zip file just fine with no
errors. Now I right-click on the zip file and select "Extract Here"
and it gives me this message.
----------------
error: Zip file too big (greater than 4294959102 bytes)
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of
/home/mlbaker/Desktop/test.zip or
/home/mlbaker/Desktop/test.zip.zip, and cannot find
/home/mlbaker/Desktop/test.zip.ZIP, period.
----------------
if I try by command line here it is
----------------
[mlbaker at isPgm00 Desktop]$ unzip test.zip
error: Zip file too big (greater than 4294959102 bytes)
Archive: test.zip

I have 200 gigs free, so space is not a problem. The zip file is 4.3
gigs. Unfortunately I could really use some of the data in this
archive... Any help is appreciated.
This was done on a FC6 box.
Thank you all!
