2GB limit on files ?

[Aly Dharshi]

Well I used wget to try and download the iso, which has failed a couple 
of times.  I tried the same wget command on a Solaris 8 box and it seems 
to work just fine, post that a copy to the Fedora box worked just fine 
and even the mounting (iso mounting) worked A-Okay. I wonder what the 
issue is/was ?

    Cheers,

    Aly.
