I have a write here which is connected to a Windoze box. It works fine
for copying CDs (ISO, Joliet, RockRidge) and I've also used it to create
CDs from collections of Windoze files. However, I now need to make a
RockRidge disk from some Solaris files. I zipped up the collections of files
on a Solaris box and FTPed them to the Windoze box and fired up WinZip to
make the trees to burn but now I've run into a clash between two files called
Filename and filename - Windoze of course preserves case but doesn't distinguish
between these names. This has happened with a couple of files so I can't carry
on that way.
Now to get on topic :-) - I decided to transfer the files to a Linux box and run
mkisofs there to make an image which I would then transfer to the burner box for
burning. But I've never used mkisofs before and there're about a zillion combinations
of options. Obviously I need to add RockRidge extensions and preserve leading periods
in filenames, but having done all that, is there any way I can test the image ? Can I
do some kind of a loopback mount on an ISO image ? Can any think of some vital option
to mkisofs which I should use but am likely to have forgotten ?
Kindest regards,
