'/' is not a legal ISO9660 character, so if they are "proper" ISO9660 CDs,
then the file names you see from Linux should not have '/' characters
in them...
If they were written on a Mac, then the chances are they are either HFS or
HFS hybrid CDs.
More recent versions of the Linux kernel can mount HFS disks/CDs - although
on my RedHat systems there is hardly any documentation on how to mount
HFS disks ...), but try something like:
mount -t hfs -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Have a look at http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/Students/hargrove/HFS/README.html
for documentation on the HFS mount options.
Any non-valid Linux filename character is escaped - see the section on "names"
