Eh, wrong. ISO images themselves are in a "raw" format, which is only concerned with the sectors of the CD, not the actual data structure. (unless you "open" the image in winblows, which he is not doing...) An ISO image burned under Linux or Windows -MUST- be no different in the end result. I do this all the time with Rockridge, Winblows, Mac and other formats... RockRidge enters the picture at a higher level. I.E when you are creating the ISO image itself. Then all the limitations you have stated apply. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ron Stodden Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 12:42 AM To: Mandrake Expert Subject: Re: [expert] Bad CD?

Windows knows nothing about the Rock Ridge extensions to ISO9660 that Linux uses, nor about the long name technique (mkisofs -U - untranslated file names, a violation of ISO 9660) that should be used on Linux disks. Use cdrecord to create CDs from ISO image files. Example, as superuser, to a CD-RW blank: cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 blank=fast MandrakeLinux-8.1-Raklet-beta1-CD1.i586.iso -- Ron. [au]
