My Linux CD has several empty directories and zero-byte files, I don't
think it's a file-system problem -- Unix installations tend to have this
sort of cruft all over the place :-)

 JP> I don't think there is such a thing as ISO9660/FAT...

I didn't put it very well -- of course the CD itself doesn't actually use
FAT. What I meant was, ISO9660 with the FAT naming convention, rather than
ISO9660 with the RockRidge naming convention.

Andrew.
