NOTE: Unless directed to "Make CD readable by most other CD-ROMs" or
some such, DirectCD writes using "CDFS" and doesn't write some other
necessary info for ISO9660/Joliet conformance. If I understand
correctly, this "CDFS" is UFS?? This may not be the problem, since I
wonder how Linux could mount the CD without the newer filesystem support
(maybe it looks close enough to iso9660 to fool the kernel?). It's
worth investigating though... I know for a fact, if you don't do this
with DirectCD, older Windows machines will not be able to read these
CD's (not to mention Mac's).
