    mkisofs and mac

    What extensions are needed to create a disk with files readable on linux, windows, and mac os x? I read thru the manual and not sure. Is this correct or is the -hfs needed?
    Code:
    mkisofs -o cd.iso -R -J -hfs cd_dir

    Pure ISO9660 works perfectly fine on all operating systems, you only need the -hfs option if you want to save additional information HFS file system would have (creator, file type and some other extra information about the files that Finder can understand).
