Having got my desktop at work up to 9.1, I'm now using k3b to burn cds. It works well.

But in sending a CD to a Windows user, where I am seeing filenames as I recorded them under linux:

halliwell-phillipps_no_1311_recto.tif

But I'm getting:

HALLIWELL-PHILLIPPS_NO_1000.TIF

I believe that you need to include 'joliet' extension for windoz to understand the file names.

Even Joliet can only handle names of a certain size (32 chars?). We often have to burn CDs as UDF format to get longer names. (We burn them from a M$ platform). I don't know if SUSE/K3B can burn CDs in UDF format or not. Windows 2K and WinXP can both read them. FYI: I think UDF is the standard format for DVD drives. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
