Re: [BLUG] case insensitivity and more

Not to derail the thread or anything, but do this to enable case
sensitivity (which can cause problems if an app developer is lazy or
did something by hand that's usually done by xcode, and changed some
capitalization).
1. Back up to time machine.
2. Use the Leopard install disk to reformat your drive to HFS+ Case
Sensitive
3. Use the Restore from Time Machine backup option from (one of the)
menubar (items) on the Leopard install disk.

There's an app that's $50 that does it in place, or so it purports to,
but I wouldn't trust it. There's no other way to do it.
