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?
