You are correct about the Joliet thing.  (On my system, at least) mkhybrid 
and mkisofs are the same program.  Thus, you must specify which CD formats 
to use.  My common string is:

mkisofs -r -J -f path/to

- -r: Translate the owner, group, and permission of the files to something 
more portable to other systems.  This also includes the Rock Ridge 
protocol, so you are covered on the Unix side of things.

- -J: Include the Joliet file system (this is what you want)

- -f: Follow symbolic links.  Always helpful.

I wouldn't.  I don't know when Microsoft started including Joliet support, 
but Windows 98 and Windows XP should be just fine with it.


Good luck.
