------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-17 15:25 ------- Depends what you mean by "handle". AFAIK, PC-DOS, DR-DOS & OS/2 don't read longnames from floppies. Neither does MS-DOS in MS-DOS mode. Don't you suppose some who have just had a failure attempting to install Mandrake might not understand that report.bug.gz is the same thing as REPORT~1.GZ? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Many people are asked to submit the installation bug report to developers. Often this requires a rescue boot and transfer of this file to a floppy for submission to the deveopers by some other system. This other system may not be able to read a Linux native formatted floppy, so this file should be easily transferrable to a FAT formatted floppy, which requires filenames in the 8.3 format. A change of the installation error log filename would facilitate this procedure by those not familiar with copying and renaming in a single command line process.
