I am not sure, what kind of file system can handle my files. What I

ever tried a tool, it claimed it can read ext2/3 and some others, but

So, mk??? /dev/loop0 should I use?

Just like burning a normal file? Can you show me a simple growisofs

If Nick (my brother) is sleeping with my sister, he will shortly find

There is no such thing as PAL or NTSC when looking at digital video.
PAL & NTSC are both methods for encoding analogue video signals.

LOL! Thanx for sharing that. I'm interested in making DVD's for a home
DVD player, not playing files on a PC.
The TV happens to be <Drum Roll> NTSC! And it will remain so for a long
time yet. I do not even have cable. All my television viewing except
over the air broadcasts come from DVD - South Park, Enterprise,
Voyager, Seven Days, and many many movies. Cable or FIOS is a waste of
money for my viewing habits.
I also have House, NCIS, Nova and other series on DVD.

Ah-ha!
Almost certainly your DSL "modem"[0] is misconfigured. It is trying to
send a public IP address to your server. Many DSL "modems" can be
configured in such a way to forward any packets it receives down to a
single host. This is typically done in small business where the
customer has a static IP address, and are sometimes bound to a specific
port on the "modem". If you connected up to an alternate port in the
built-in switch on the back of the "modem", DHCP may work for you.
So if I give to my eth0 an ip like 192.168.1.2 with ifconfig and then:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
...everything seem to be right. But during the bootstrap I can read that
to my eth0 is assigned an ip like the one above 70.30.... So, the
question now is, how do I assign a permanent ip to the eth0, and a
permanent gateway in the route map?
RTFM. http://tinyurl.com/69mtsk
[0] It really pisses me off to call these things modems. They are not
modems since they do not modulate and demodulate. They are DSL
terminal adapters, but I guess that's too much for people to
understand.

Caveat: I have no real experience with alternate character sets- either in |
Slackware or in Windows.
One way to bypass filesystem limitations is to stick with the OS which is
correctly displaying the filenames. If Slackware is correctly displaying
the filenames, then one way is to build a simple "loopback" container. The
steps for using loopback container is as follows:
(1) Allocate the container. I usually use dd. The following command
allocates a 4G empty container.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=container.lfs bs=1024 count=0 seek=4000000
(2) Setup a loopback
# losetup /dev/loop0 container.lfs
(3) Format the loopback. Use a filesystem which will properly display the
names.
# mke2fs /dev/loop0
(4) Mount the loopback
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/lfs
(5) Copy you file set into the container.
no example shown here.
(6) When finished, unmount the container and release the loop device.
# umount /mnt/lfs
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
(7) Write container to a DVD using whatever burning program that you
prefer. I use growisofs. Note: with file sizes this large, specify UDF
structures.
( Verify DVD is correctly written, and files are readable when mounted
loopback, etc.
# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd
# mount -o loop /mnt/dvd/container.lfs /mnt/lfs

The best way to back up, or move files around, is to tar them up. At the
very least, you should be able to back the files up with tar. If, after
un-tar'ing the file on the XP box, the names are still not readable, it may
be the XP system doesn't have the language stuff installed, or that it uses
a different scheme for such languages.

This is the top google hit, but I haven't tried it myself:

ext3 is backward compatible with ext2. Since your filesystem is fixed, |
there is no need to have a journal; ext2 appears to be fine. mke2fs.

I usually use a two step prcoess: create the iso, then burn it to a dvd. |
This works best with the older computers to avoid buffer underruns, etc.
It is also fastest to read the source material from one disk and write the
output iso to another physical disk, etc.
# mkdir dvd
# mv container.lfs dvd
# mkisofs -R -J -udf -o /tmp/dvd-x.iso dvd
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdd=/tmp/dvd-x.iso
Note: fixup any device and directory names as appropriate for your system.
Note: Comments inline.
It could be this method is overkill for what you are trying to do. First,
if only getting access to your files from Windows, then perhaps a
different ext2 driver for Windows would be much simpler than this. The
loopback container method that I explained could be the right method if
you need a backup method that gives quickest access to your files. I
believe it is very quick; just pop in the disk and mount the loopback
container. (BTW, I am not sure this method would actually work when booted
in Windows. I am curious to find out if any of the ext2 drivers for
Windows will allow the "partition" to be specified as a file. From what I
can tell, it looks like each of the projects look at actual disk
partitions and identify what filesystem is present and allow you to "map a
drive letter." There may be no provision for the case where the
"partition" is encapsulated within a file.)
The method I have shown lacks any compression. If you want, or need
that, then tar (with a compression stage) is probably a better choice.
[ Off-topic ]
I was surprised that the Mac OS X does not support ext2. I googled for
that on a separate problem and came back with nothing. That is surprising
since one would think that ext2 would be fairly universal and present in
almost any *nix-like OS.

Well, there's several possibilities:
- - Most commonly it would mean that the loopback device isn't present,
probably due to compiling a custom kernel and leaving out this feature
- - You could have really screwed up your netfilter rules
- - You might just have taken the interface down
- - If it's not those, it almost surely indicates some serious internal
kernel problems

It isn't the file system - ext3 obviously handles the files just fine if
you can read them under X. It is the shell that can't interpret the
characters.
A quick google search turned up:
<http://www.boutell.com/lsm/lsmbyid.cgi/000594>
"Description: CHDRV is a terminal wrapper which can simulate Chinese character
display on a Linux console.It work WITHOUT the help of X-windows."
It was Chinese you were talking about, right?
