Hi there,

I've burned a CD using win95 and have a lot of files with long names (
more than 8.3 characters). I tried to read them from linux (istalled
inside a directory on my PC) and what I saw was the long file names are
truncated and there is ~ sign on the file names. Anyone knows how I can
get linux to read the file names properly and be able to install the
softwares from CD instead of copying them into HD and renaming them?

Thanks,
Seyed
