Re: [PLUG] mkisofs question

thanks for the replies.

re: windows, it just happened that the people I'm sending the 
CD to happen to use windows _now_.  Although that may change 
in the future, who knows.  I guess I have to test it then--
however I only have windows 95 and 98.  I will test them
both and if just the -r switch suffices then I guess thats
will be ok.  the sufficient condition is that the file
names should be preserved for possible media transfer 
later.

I want the CDRs to be as archival as possible (they are 
family pictures that I am starting to digitize and storing 
on CD-R's).  BTW I am rigging my linux box to automate
the filing / naming and sorting of a large amount of
JPG files and html indexes and creating CD ISO mirrors on 
samba shares.
