As somebody else mentioned, -J is Joliet. It's Microsoft's extension that gives you long file names and perhaps NTFS file permissions (not sure about the last part.) Are there a whole buttload of small files on the original CD? The extensions basically cause it to store more metadata for each file, so if so, that could explain it. If you give mkiosfs the -v flag, it'll give more info, and I believe that one of the things it'll give is how many blocks are devoted to extensions. | ++ BTW, after I burned the image, it's un-usable.

I've heard that older versions of Linux will corrupt an iso9660 file if mounted via the loopback device, and so if you burn it to CD afterwards that it won't work. I can't remember where I read this, however -- but I do think it's been fixed. -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is in the circus. _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
