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.
