What a thought, to follow the standard. > But we really want a CD that works in most iso9660 readers. Agree on that as well, non-standard doesn't work as well as standard. > In fact this nonstandard version sector isn't very well understood by > some crappy iso9660 readers.

You are quick to speak for "mkisofs users," when you are speaking for you and you alone. If you made a suggestion that the information could be something like the output of 'uname -mrs' and the mkisofs command line I would say fine, but I fail to see what information you are giving out when the CD itself contains the data. If you want to hide the filenames, build a shodow tree (symlinks to stuff) and use the option to follow the symlinks to write the data. As for leaving off sectors required by the standard, why write a CD at all? If you want something no one can read, encrypt a tar file and write that to the CD, only you will be able to read it. -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
