Standard discs hold 650[MB] or there abouts. The normal filesystem used on a [CDROM] data track is [ISO]9660.
There are two competing standards to allow longer filenames and a few other things [ISO]9660 does not provide. The earlier one, originating from the [Unix] environment, is called Rock Ridge. The other one, made up my MicrosoftCorporation, is called Joliet. (Note that some characters that are valid on [Unix] FileSystems are not allowed on Joliet discs.)
+
+For creating disc images in ISO9660 format, the standard tool is mkisofs(8). Use isoinfo(8) or isodump(8) for checking/listing/extracting
+contents of an existing image. (By convention, people give these
+images a ".iso" file extension.)
For reading audio discs or writing CDs, you need access to the [CDROM] drive raw device. Under a [Linux] OperatingSystem, these are called __/dev/hd''x''__ for [IDE] drives and __/dev/scd''n''__ for [SCSI] drives. Under [FreeBSD] 5 and later, they're called __/dev/acd''n''__ for [IDE] drives and ''??? (AddToMe)'' for [SCSI] drives.
