ISO9660 CD's are limited to containing filenames of no more
than 32 characters in length. At least, everytime I try to
burn a CD, those web pages I've saved that have filenames
that are longer result in a dialog box that requires me to
either type an alternate name or accept the munged version
that it creates itself. Doing this en masse would require
quite a bit of attention to detail in the utility program.
Comments?
It is also possible to burn other filesystems onto CD-Rs. I used to do
backups on to CD-R using the ext2 filesystem. Of course, the CD-Rs aren't
readable from as many systems, but you preserve file permissions etc.
