I'm running FreeBSD-4.2-STABLE for about three weeks. Additionally, this is the Windows retail CD of Unreal Tournament. I know my cdrom drive can read long filenames since I have written CD's with such. It appears this may well a cd problem. Perhaps if I mount the cd in another machine and xfer the files with samba? - Scott Tim McMillen wrote: > > Yes that's possible (an older version of FreeBSD), but those are 8.3 > filenames.
