I'm trying to back up some freebsd systems on cdrom.  My intention is to
have one which people can look at specific file on, or pax/tar/dump over
on top of a live, minimally installed OS.

/stand has 31 file of considerable size: on a standard system they're all
hard links to the same file.  All have the same inode number.

While it "works" if they're not the same inode number, trying to restore
onto a pristine system bombs because these files - now separate - take up
an extra 50 MB or so.

I've tried mkisofs with and without the -T option but it doesn't appear to
use the same inode numbers in either case.

How do we do this on the live file system CD, or do we?

Thanks,

--- David
