Hi, being quite new to the Mac(OSX) world (coming from unix), I left my ibook in the factory default setting, which is HFS+ filesystem. It seems this is necessary in order for MacOS9 to be usable.
Now the thing that starts making problems - as I am trying to integrate my ibook in an otherwise linux or SGI dominated environment - is that the HFS+ filesystem has a lot of limitations, the most annoying one being that capital letters are not distinguished from non-capital ones (in the sense that you cannot have two files README and readme in the same directory). I agree that this should not happen very often, but it sometimes does, and is creating some disfunction. Now I wonder, whether using a UFS partition would fix this, and if it is possible/advisable to change my current setup to one with either a UFS instead of HFS+ partition (thus loosing on OS9 ?) or creating a supplementary partition so that MacOSX/Fink can be separated, or only creating this partition for my data .. ANy hints and recommendations are taken thankfully, Cheers, Marc Baaden -- Dr. Marc Baaden - Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, Paris mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.marc-baaden.de FAX: +49 697912 39550 - Tel: +33 15841 5176 ou +33 609 843217 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: eBay Great deals on office technology -- on eBay now!
