Greetings fellow linux-ers. I'm in the process of trying to install the Slackware distribution of Linux on a Pentium computer with a pair of IDE harddrives and an IDE CD-ROM drive. I downloaded the 3.6 version of Slackware to my Win95 PC and used Adaptec's Easy CD software to make an Joliet-based CDROM (with long filenames). I can mount the CD on my linux box, but any file that did not have a specific extension has the period in the filename anyway. For example, ./modules/a1/diska1 is being shown as ./modules/a1/diska1. This, of course, is causing the setup and pkgtool programs to choke because they can't find the label file with that extra period on it. Does anyone know a way to get a Joliet-based CDROM mounted so that it doesn't display trailing periods on extension-less names, or an alternate way to burn a CD from a Win95 machine so that the period doesn't get written in the first place? Thanks, Rick Greene Unix guru, Linux neophyte
