Re: DOS long filename style - why?
I think you have to have the microsoft joliet
extensions enabled in you kernel in order for linux to
see the long filenames. I once had a maximum linux cd
that would display long filenames. Then I recompiled
the kernel without the microsoft joliet extensions,
and the same cd truncated the filenames. When I
recompiled with the joliet extensions, things went
back to normal.
