I don't think this would work, since almost every single file in djdev
has changed one way or the other. If that laptop is for your personal
use only, I suggest that you delete every unused file in your original
(non-laptop) installation (e.g. most of zoneinfo directory), then zip
what's left by yourself. If that won't do, make 2 separate zip files.
There's also the technique of double-zipping, like so:
zip -r -0 djdev201 *.*
zip -9 djdevv21 djdev201.zip
This makes for a much smaller zip file.

Almost everything's changed in djdev. The only directory which has a
significant number of unchanged files is include. But be careful: if you
inadvertently leave an old include file where a new one is available in
v2.01, your programs might have subtle bugs due to mismatches in some
declarations.
