I have a question about how to use mkhybrid to create a CD image that can be
used from both Mac OS and Windows.
There's two ways you can do this. One is to make an ISO9660 filesystem that has
both the Apple and the Joliet extensions. The other way is to make an ISO9660
filesystem with the Joliet extensions, but that contains a separate Mac HFS
filesystem whose filesystem metadata points to the files in the ISO9660
filesystem - a hybrid filesystem.
The disadvantage of the second approach is that the extra filesystem data takes
up space, but in my case it won't be a problem.
But in any case, I have this problem - I want to have the original filenames
that my wife prepared for the files on the CD preserved. But when I've tried
this with mkhybrid before, I got long filenames on Windows, and one can use the
Rock Ridge extensions to make it work on Linux too, but under the Mac OS I only
saw vanilla ISO9660 8.3 filenames.
Is there something I can do to have the filenames look the same under all these
operating systems?
What we're making is a portfolio CD for a friend who is an artist. My wife made
a page full of thumbnails, and clicking on a thumbnail takes you to a page with
a larger image. For all the hyperlinks to work on any OS the CD is mounted on,
we need to preserve the original filenames. I didn't think to ask my wife to
keep all the filenames 8.3. In any case, that would have made the CD
unattractive to look at in a file manager.
Thanks,
Mike Crawford
