Log:
Axe the question on cramming 1TB files onto a floppy disk.
1) This is not asked frequently. This is not asked rarely. This has
probably only been asked once, in some leap year during the
thirteenth full moon.
2) "You need a dd that handles large files"; this is spectacularly
unhelpful, as it says nothing about where to get such a dd, what's
wrong with the existing dd, etc.
3) This information might be useful somewhere in the Handbook, if rewritten
and generalized to explain why files can be larger than the disks
that they live on: since this question is simply met with derision
by many members of the -doc team, however, not to mention the
FreeBSD community in general, we'll just deorbit it.
4) If we had a "Stupid FreeBSD Tricks" book, this would belong there.
