ISO creation problem :-: mkisofs
Hi,

I am trying to burn a directory containing some install scripts/executables etc onto a cd.

I am using redhat v7.0.

I have tried using mkisofs, but so far have not been able to get the case of the filenames to be correct.

one file is called: startInstaller
but it always comes out as either STARTINSTALLER or startinstaller.

I have tried using both -R and -r but some names still get truncated and even using the -l option to get long names, the case is still messed up.

Is there a trick to getting the case preserved for Linux filenames, as I need to have them all exact if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Smilie

I managed to get it myself.

the syntax I used is:
Code:
mkisofs -rlJ -relaxed-filename  -o <outputfile>.iso <inputdir>

and I ended up with a cdrom ISO that I could burn under windows, and is readable in correct case from both Unix/Linux and Win2K.
