I seem to remember reading instructions for mounting a floppy and then safely tarring/gzipping the tripwire db and moving it onto the floppy disk, somewhere in the tripwire documentation. After following that advice I managed to shrink a 5mb tripwire db file down to just over 1mb. I've had a quick search for the documentation in question but can't find it on my system, think it got cleared out recently - perhaps if you try grepping for fd0 in the documentation tarball someone mentioned above you might find the relevant instructions.
