NOTE: Unless directed to "Make CD readable by most other CD-ROMs" or some such, DirectCD writes using "CDFS" and doesn't write some other necessary info for ISO9660/Joliet conformance. If I understand correctly, this "CDFS" is UFS?? This may not be the problem, since I wonder how Linux could mount the CD without the newer filesystem support (maybe it looks close enough to iso9660 to fool the kernel?). It's worth investigating though... I know for a fact, if you don't do this with DirectCD, older Windows machines will not be able to read these CD's (not to mention Mac's). -- Eric G.
