We had to go to case-insensitive partitions here to accommodate one or more of Adobe's installers. They may or may not DTRT now. There's also been much fun with leavers copying from a case-sensitive drive to a case-blind one with rsync, falling foul of distinguishing files or directories only by letter case, then wondering offsite where some of their files went. -- Dr Martin J Carter Computer System Administrator Astrophysics, University of Oxford
