[PT] It probably is a Joliet filesystem (which is
Microsoft's extensions to ISO9660). So you will
need to check your kernel for Joliet support. If
not, then compile it in. Then you can mount it
as a Joliet filesystem.
As an alternative, you could use mkisofs on
your linux box to make an ISO9660 filesystem
with Rock Ridge extensions. Save the file with
and .iso extension and ftp it to your NT box
(or NT partition if on the same machine). This
assumes you have 650MB or more free on a
Linux partition. Remeber, you need space for
the original files plus the space to hold the
final ISO9660 image file.
