>Description:
        The README.MacOSX file (in conjunction with README.Darwin)
        discusses the issue of creating a case-sensitive UFS file
        system or file-system image.  With 10.3 (Panther), it is
        now possible to make a case-sensitive HFS+ file system, so
        that can be used instead of UFS.  This may be preferable
        for some users, since it avoids the need to create a separate
        partition or to take the performance hit supposedly associated
        with using a disk image.  On the other hand, it requires
        rebuilding the file system, which destroys the original
        data.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
        I'm not sure what is the best way to describe this, other
        than to point out that it can be done, and that one way to
        do it is to boot from the install CD and rebuild the file
        system (via the Disk Utility) as case-sensitive HFS+ (IIRC,
        the word "extended" appeared in the menu somewhere---not sure
        whether that's equivalent to the "+" or to "journaled", or
        something else).  Anyway, the end result is both journaled
        and case sensitive.  And, of course, you lose all the original
        data on the file system in the process.
