QUESTION

-------------------------

> I recorded a CD on a PC using the Joliet/ISO 9660 extensions.

> I have been able to read the CD on a linux machine, but when

> trying to read the same CD on a solaris 2.6 machine, the filenames

> are truncated.

> Is there a way to read such a CD on solaris 2.6 ?

ANSWER

-------------------------

Solaris does not support the Joliet filesystem, while linux does.

There is (at least) a freeware program, mkisofs, that can be used

to create a image of the CD on Solaris, then after ftping the image

to the PC you can use the software that runs on the PC to burn the CD

-------------------------

As a last question and more specific, after using mkisofs on Solaris I

use WinOnCD on the PC. Could anybody who has used mkisofs and WinOnCD let

me know if this worked for him/her?
