Are these CD's burnt in Joliet?

Joliet format can be read but must be compiled into your kernel or as a 
loadable module.
Xcdroast comes with RH7.0 powertools, good GUI to cdrecord. The version 
that comes with powertools is root only runable, but if you goto freshmeat 
and download the latest you can set it up for users.
