This is a file system issue, not a terminal or unix issue. the Mac OS HFS+ filesystem is not case-sensitive. It's not alone... there are other unix's I've worked on that behaved this way. -- Jeremy Derr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Low End Macs - G-Books ListNanny Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.

Oh, OK. I've used red hat linux prior to buying Pismo, and it was all case sensitive there. Would there be any trouble whatsoever if I formatted hard drive to ext2 file system and installed Mac OS X? I presume I wouldn't be able to use OS 9 then, right? I can't post to the list from this webmail service, but I want you to know DON'T DO IT! Many many many programs will not install onto UFS... Office v.X won't, I don't think PShop 7 will either, Illustrator 10 wants only HFS+ it's a real pain in the arse... p.s. can you forward this to the list? -- Ryan -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
