Strange, I have had the opposite experience. Trying to burn some CDs with cdrkit (on CentOS) give some problem with not being able to generate Joliet system and I have had trouble with utf-8 too.
First I thought I was making some stupid mistake, but changing to cdrtools (from sourceforge repository) fixed that.
Well, it was in another distro, but by what I've read in this thread it seems to make sense now.
There is nothing strange and this does not depend on the distro you are using. The fork does not handle UTF-8 correctly. BTW: the whole dispute with Debian started with an attempt from a Debian paketizer to make me integrate a non-working UTF-8 patch into mkisofs in May 2004. This patch was full of bugs and even if it did have no bugs, it would only handle 50% of the cases that need support for UTF-8. This broken patch is still in the fork, but in Summer 2006 I did implement working and complete UTF-8 support for mkisofs. There is however no cdrtools at Sourceforge, cdrtools is at Berlios ;-) Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) joerg.schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
