Hello

This is a generall Linux question and not Ubuntu specific but someone 
may has an answer.

I would like to zip a large folder to a FAT32 partition. But the 
resulting zip file will exceed 2GB. The file size is limited to 2GB on 
FAT. Is there a way to split the resulting zip file "on the fly" into 
multiply zip files. This multiply zipfiles should be compatible with 
windows.

Something similar like in the "old days" where one could span a zip file 
over several floppy disks.

Thanks in advance

Thomas
