I meant if -r and -J in "mkisofs -a -f -f -r -J -o xxxxx ." can
coexist. To me it seems since the image file size is different from
respective option. But I can't be sure because I don't rather go back
down in version. But you know since you do extensively support many
cases like installing from netbios or appletalk or nfs supporting long 
names.
Currently it doesn't concern me. So in a way, it is meaningless
question. But, I just wondered.
