Hi,
And thanks for the info! I should have guessed
that there must have been a *very* good reason for
mkisofs to always sort the files alphabetically.
Well, it seems that what I wanted is just not
possible.
As a workaround, I will have to add a number prefix
to each file so they get sorted in the order that
I want. Ugly, but it will do the trick.
Btw, the reason why I wanted to preserve the original
order is simple: I am burning a CD with MP3s for a
hardware player. I wanted the tracks to appear in
a certain order, which is not the same as the
alphabetical order.
Once again, thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Jean
