OK, thats kind of wierd, but the image of debian doesn't contain the 8.3 caracters, right?
So when does it happend, when u burn it or copy the burned cd to hd? If it's cdcreator(wich i don't belive it is) then mabye scould try clonecd. It just take the image 'as is' and put it on a cdr. Or the right way, the debian way...:) /ernst On Tue, 26 Nov 2002, Wathen, Metherion wrote: > Hi, > I burned them on a different pc running windows (yckkk) xp. the program used > was cdcreator, the only option was joliet filesystem - i think - so that i > can use long filenames on the cd instead of dos' 8+3 format. > > thanks, > mw. > > -----Original Message----- > From: ernst [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 3:22 PM > To: Wathen, Metherion > Cc: Debian-User (E-mail) > Subject: Re: How do you recover a long filename that Wndows squashed? > > > Hi > > Since u bourned the images, how did u burn them, program/otions, OS? > > /ernst > > > On Tue, 26 Nov 2002, Wathen, Metherion wrote: > > > I have files that have been downloaded from the Debian site and burned to > > cdrom, when i use mc to copy the files to my harddrive for installation a > > big part of the long name is replaced with a tilde; how do I get the long > > name back? > > Is my cdroms file format incorrect in fstab? any help would be great! > > thanks, > > mw. > > > > > > -- > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
