Duel-booting shouldn't matter for this.

You don't need to recompile the kernel, but you do need to go through the
same steps. Presuming you've got kern source in /usr/src/linux, as root cd
into there, then do a "make xconfig &" (from within X making sure that
your root shell is set to display in your X environment and that your X
environment will let it, or "make menuconfig" or "make config" as you
prefer). Under "Filesystems" you will find options for ISO9660 as well as
Joliet extensions. Enable ISO9660 as a module. Saying yes to Joliet should
only affect that module, so you shouldn't need to rebuild the kern to
enable it (or so I would think).

Go back to main menu, save and exit. Then from the command line do a "make
modules && make modules_install". You might need a "make dep" before that,
the config program will let you know when it exits.

This will add ISO9660 support as a module and that module should support
the Joliet extensions. You shouldn't need to reboot to use the module, but
probably need to do a "depmod -a".
