Considering that UDF is supported in Linux from 2.6 upwards and in
Windows from Vista, distributing a UDF disc seems a bit premature of
the publisher. And expecting people to install a driver from a book CD
... well, bad attitude. Furthermore I don't see the advantages of UDF
vs ISO 9660 if one is only distributing 7 files with (presumably)
short 7 bit file names.
