This is the situation: I'd like to install Unreal Tournament and make use of the linux emulation to play the game. However, when I mount the retail cdrom, the files are like this (dos 8.3 format): /cdrom/system/unreal~1.est /cdrom/system/unreal~1.exe /cdrom/system/unreal~1.frt /cdrom/system/unreal~1.icd /cdrom/system/unreal~1.ini /cdrom/system/unreal~1.int However, I've got other cd's that read correctly. This cd does show the long filenames under linux and win*. Any ideas? -Scott Tim McMillen wrote: > > On Saturday January 06, 2001 20:58, Scott Nolde wrote: > > I've got a cdrom which is not showing the long filenames.
