I usually use ``mkisof -l -r -L ...'' where:
	-L	Allow more than one ``.'' in names.
	-l	Allow full 31 character filenames
	-r  File ownership set to something ``useful''.

``Rights'' is a fictional abstraction.  No one has ``Rights'', neither
machines nor flesh-and-blood.  Persons... have opportunities, not rights,
which they use or do not use.
