What is the use case for accessing long filenames from the CD in Windows? The files needed by win32-loader need to be accessible, and documentation too, but it should not matter if deb files cannot be looked up from within Windows. If these files could be dealt with, using Rock Ridge alone would be an alternative to consider: /README.html /README.mirrors.html /README.mirrors.txt /README.source /win32-loader.ini /css/debinstall-print.css /css/debinstall.css /doc/bug-log-access.txt /doc/bug-log-mailserver.txt /doc/bug-mailserver-refcard.txt /doc/bug-maint-info.txt /doc/bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt /doc/bug-reporting.txt /doc/constitution.txt /doc/debian-manifesto /doc/dedication /doc/mailing-lists.txt /doc/social-contract.txt /doc/source-unpack.txt /pics/blue-lowerleft.png /pics/blue-lowerright.png /pics/blue-upperleft.png /pics/blue-upperright.png /pics/debian-61.png /pics/logo-50.jpg /pics/openlogo-nd-50.png /pics/red-lowerleft.png /pics/red-lowerright.png /pics/red-upperleft.png /pics/red-upperright.png /doc/FAQ/debian-faq.en.html.tar.gz /doc/FAQ/debian-faq.en.pdf.gz /doc/FAQ/debian-faq.en.ps.gz /doc/FAQ/debian-faq.en.txt.gz Is it possible to provide Joliet filenames for only a subset of files? -- see shy jo
