Installing Leopard on HFS+, Journalled, Case Sensitive
I’m a big geek, and I love case sensitive file systems. It means a file LikeThis.txt is not the same as a file likethis.txt and that really helps with consistency in a developers world.
Oops! What a horrible Idea. Well, not really - There’s only one thing wrong.
As it turns out 3rd party applications still live in the stone ages. Adobe CS3 will refuse to install. There are a few other apps that apparently go sour as well (popcap games). Of course because Adobe CS3 is a sack of shit - and you cannot install it to another volume (wtf is with that?) - I may just not bother installing it at all. At least the games will still run from their respective DMG files.
My only other real option is to format again and do a full restore of what I’ve got installed right now using Time Machine…
All I can say is lame lame lame. Get with it Adobe (and you few others, PopCap games for example)
