flash archives are reasonably portable if the hardware is close enough but we've done this and found it highly inconventiant. In particular, a number of additional apps (inlcuding Sun's SRS NetConnect for example) store the hostname in their config during install so changing it later create contradictions.
However, you should be able to create flars larger than 4gb using the default options. Are you sure that's what it stopping you?
