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.
