 Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2004 9:35 am Post subject: Gentoo changing filenames? |
 |
|
I came close to my monthly download limit and had a friend burn me a CD or the source files needed for KDE and Gnome. He burnt the files on Windows. The strange thing is, when I view the CD on my Gentoo computer the file names are all wrong.
e.g. Instead of gnome-vfs-2.4.2.tar.bz2 it says gnome_vf.bz2
When the files are viewed on a Windows computer everything is fine, how could this be? |

Do you have joliet support compiled in your kernel? This is needed to properly read the filenames on a CD using the joliet extensions. Joliet is the standard CD extension for M$ Systems while Linux Users mostly use RockRidge or both.
Without extensions on CDs you are very limited in filename length, filename format (leading dots, multi dotted names like *.tar.bz2, etc.) and directory depth

That would be the problem.
Thank you very much. |
