Hi Jasen! :-)

 JB> Rockridge is ISO-9660 compatible but with a trans.tbl file in every
 JB> directory with the long filenames and unix file attributes,
That is only a side-effect to assist operating systems that don't
understand RR. The real RR directory is a full directory tree on the disc,
and that gets used by RR-capable operating systems. The TRANS.TBL files can
show up there, too, it depends on how the disc was mastered.

 JB> Most linux distros use that format. often in combination with joliet.
Yep.

 JB> Joliet is the Windows way of putting long filenames on a CD.
 JB> still basically ISO-9660 but I don't know how the extension works
Same as RR, a full directory tree stored on the disc, in parallel to the
normal ISO9660 directory structure.
