 |
|
Greetings freaks!! 
I want to clone my FreeBSD CD using mkisofs, but the disc has files in lowercase...and also some symlinks
reading the "man mkisofs" some options to allow lowercase "break" the iso9660 standard and.. I think that Linux Distros ISO`s (I know FreeBSD is not linux, but give me a break, ok?) are 100% iso compatible (hope you get the idea)
Is there a way to clone a CD with mkisofs? or you have to "guess" the options?
Hope someone understand and could help me ^^
Saludos

It's the rockwell extension you want, although you could also use the Joliet extension. Go ahead and "break" iso9660. It's brain-dead, so it won't mind!
Actually, you are not really breaking it -- the disk will work fine under iso9660. It just adds extra info for smarter operating systems. Linux, FreeBSD, Windows -- all of these do the same.
PS: do you know about dd?
# mkdir /mnt/iso
# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/my.iso
# mount -o loop /tmp/my.iso /mnt/iso
