  Actually, it was just pointed out to me that this isn't the case.
Discs 3 and 4 of the Daemonnews CD set do not have RockRidge
attributes, so the files are MSDOS-compatible 8.3.

  The official ISOs on the FTP site (and hence, CDs from the FreeBSD
Mall, and others) include long filenames.  I'm unable to use discs 3
and 4 from my Daemonnews distribution because of this (sysinstall can
not find the packages).  In any case, I can't compare the FreeBSD Mall
CDs to DN because I'm not sure what other changes they made.  I can be
sure however, that the FreeBSD Mall CDs differ from the official ISOs
on the FTP site only by the addition of Chapter 2 of the Handbook and
an autorun.inf file on disc #1 (discs 2 - 4 are completely identical,
as verified by md5).

  Sorry for the traffic, I just wanted to clarify that the official
ISOs don't have this problem.
