RE: How do you recover a long filename that Wndows squashed?

["Wathen, Metherion" <mwathen@bsadesign.com>]

well here's the weird thing,
if i look at the files on my windows pc using filemanager the filenames are
long, if i use mc on my debian machine the filenames are shortened with a
tilde filling in the missing parts.
so what ive been doing is umounting the cd, putting it in the windows box,
writing the name on piece of paper, go back to the linux box, dpkg -i <type
in the long filename>.
its been an experience :)

OK, thats kind of wierd, but the image of debian doesn't contain the 8.3
caracters, right?

So when does it happend, when u burn it or copy the burned cd to hd? If
it's cdcreator(wich i don't belive it is) then mabye scould try clonecd.
It just take the image 'as is' and put it on a cdr.

Or the right way, the debian way...:)
