Folks, I have the following problem. I want to create a CDROM for a compatriot from my 7.3 Linux platform - readable by MSDOS and - has full file names not limited to 8.3. I've tried several options. At one stage it started to read symbolic links in an endless loop. Could someone lead me through this minefield? Bob Stanfield 29 Ledge Lane Pipersville, PA 18947 Voice 610-294-9884 FAX 610-294-8119
begin Bob Stanfield's quote: | - readable by MSDOS and | - has full file names not limited to 8.3. use the microsoft joliet extensions. they're probably a module in your system, in which case calling them in your burning software will do the trick. probably. of course, 8.3 filenames is what you'll get in dos anyway, but the whole name (and, typically, not the extension) will be visible in winders. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere.

Folks,
I have the following problem. I want to create a CDROM for a compatriot from my 7.3 Linux platform
- readable by MSDOS and
Shoudn't be a Prob. CD's are writen ISO9660 conform, what can be read by MSDOS (v6.2 min?). It depends on the driver u use (MSDOS-driver for CD?)
- has full file names not limited to 8.3.
No chance. Full filenames aren't supported by MSDOS below 7.0 (Win9x).
I've tried several options. At one stage it started to read symbolic links in an endless loop. Could someone lead me through this minefield?
man mkisofs or man <your-favourite-burning-tool> I recommend to put all files to copy in an own directory and avoid any links (ok. relative links which don't leave the current dir are possible. CU Guido
