Should'nt be a problem -- data CDs have their own 
file system (iso9660) and all OSs should be able to read
them. The only gotcha is that iso9660 only has 8.3 filnames
(like dos), so long filenames are handled by extentions of
the iso9660 standard, Rock-Ridge for unix, Joliet for Win*.
If you are using mkisofs(1) directly, use the -r and -J options
to enable both. If you use some graphical tool, then it should
have a check-box somewhere. 

hope this helps
