mkisofs+cdrecord and Windows compatability

[Walter Dnes]

  I use linux... but other people use Windows.  I make backups twice a
month at home (don't you wish everybody did?) and it's saved me from
myself on a few occasions.  My linux machine can read the CDs it burns.

  When I make CDs for other people, WindowsXP can read them.  However,
XP sees the file names munged to 8.3 format.  What commandline switches
am I missing?  I move or copy all the files I want burned to the "xfer"
subdirectory, and run the short script...

#!/bin/sh
mkisofs -R xfer | cdrecord -tao -v fs=8m -data dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 -

An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will
eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure,
and has a lower TCO, than linux.
