    Hi all,

    I wish to burn a CDROM that I can mount and show
    people that "yes there really is readable data on it"
    BUT I dont want it to be readable in a windows host.

    So I am thinking that instead of the usual mkisofs routine that
    makes a cd9660 filestructure I would just burn a CDROM with
    the data in a UFS structure...

    NB the actual cd burner is in a winblows laptop so I am
    also thinking that I need to create an .iso image somehow
    that I can burn in one pass on the burner pc, even though the
    disk will not be accessible to that host once burnt.

    The question is : how ?

    I'm guessing that a way may be to create a vnode file system,
    copy the data to it and then somehow make it into a burnable
    disk image, but thats where the guessing runs out.....

    Or am I off the track?

    Instructions gratefully received.
