I just got M.D 7.0 going (nice, real nice windows 95 -> 98 level
improvements without the 3 years!), but mkisofs seems to be creating
garbled filesystems. I burned some CD's, and Win-Zip (the disks are for
Win 32 installs, I burn ALL my cd's on linux now!) complained that they
were not a valid winzip file. My C code text files had garble at the
top sometimes and sometimes got chopped off before the end?
So, I made a straight ISO image file with mkisofs (using -a and -J flags
ONLY). Now I mounted the ISO file (don't have command handy, I'm at
work), and the command cmp sais that the File in to ISO image does NOT
match the file in the Disk. I can copy to / from all File system types,
and the cmp command verifies correctness, even from a CR-ROM. However,
ALL mkisofs attempts (starting from ext2, VFAT, and ISO9660) yielded the
SAME incorrect differences (at the same position).
By re-installing mkisofs ?? from my M.D 6.0 disk, the problem is Fixed!!
Can anyone RE-CREATE this, or am I the only ONE ???
Sorry for not being able to provide versions of mkisofs, but they are
the included ones in M.D 7.0 and M.D 6.0 .........
