Dear Sir/Madam, I'm currently running windows 95 on my home PC, but I am planning to switch to FreeBSD. I have downloaded your entire 2.2.7 directory off of the Canadian server, but one thought crossed my mind over the past couple of days. I have a Hewlett Packard 2060i SCSI CD-R burner, with Gear software. I am planning to burn 2-3 CD-R's, one containing most of FreeBSD's OS, and the next couple would store all the packages that are available (freeBSD/packages/All). I was wondering if you know if long file names such as mmr-1.5.1.tgz will properly transfer over to the new CD-R. Windows 95 seems to use both, but I know that unix of course works with the long file names only. Will the long file names transfer or, will just the short 8-3 ISO9660 standard screw things up. Hope you can answer this question. thanks for your time.
