[CLUE-Tech] Keeping long file names when using mkisofs

[Timothy C. Klein]

Did you know that you can check the ISO without burning it?

Try

mount -o loop -t iso9660 path/to/img.iso /mnt/tmp

And it will mount the newly created iso filesystem.  You can then change
to the mount directory and see how what you did worked.

This is because the 8.3 names are still there, and are the primary names
for the file.  The long name is stored in the Rock Ridge and Joliet
extension part of the CD.  This way, the the CD will work on strictly
ISO implementations (are there any?), or MS-DOS.
