Rockridge, which Linux has supported since at least 1.2.0 and I expect much much earlier. It supports at least mixed case, long filenames and other punctuation. I doubt 8 directory levels is too much of a limitation, and I don't know if RR fixes it. Unfortunately, support outside Unix machines is poor. OS/2 doesn't have it, Windows95 doesn't have it (has Juliet instead), DOS obviously doesn't have it. But almost all Unix CDs use it.

Mkisofs supports RockRidge and TransTables which together resolve all of the above issues for *nix machines, although DOS systems don't get the full benefit of RockRidge extentions because of its ignorance of them. I always use the -R and -T options when I build an image and the resultant CD comes out just fine.

ISO9660 have several limitations: File names must be only in capital letters , A - Z. File names are limited to the DOS 8 + 3 format. No more than 8 directory levels. Only legal character besides letters is the under score (_). UDF does not have the name and directory restrictions that ISO9660 imposed. How do people deal with the long file name problem in ISO9660?

I think he's specifically referring to the rewritable part...I've been keeping a fairly active eye out for information on this, and haven't seen any confirmations that it works yet.

I use a Philips CD2000 with no problems. Mkisofs is the tool for creating an ISO9660 image file that can be burned on a CD with cdwrite. These two programs are all that is needed to put a directory tree on CD. Mkisofs has just added "bootable cds" to its capabilities. You might check with the cdwrite maintainer and see what he can tell you. I believe the current maintainer is Steven Early <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
