Actually I use the Rockridge protocol all the time in mkisofs and the 
resulting image is definately readable under other OSes. 

However, remember to use the -r flag not the -R one. Using -r will set 
UID and GID to 0 and therefore the resulting files on the cd won't have the 
permissions of the original files.

Hope this helps
