Hi. The last couple of issues of Australian Personal Computer magazine have had a CD attached. (And it evens contains a few Linux binaries such as Netscape, irc program, and one or two others. This magazine is certainly *starting* to entertain the notion of there being more than one operating system.) When I mount the CD under Linux (as an iso9660 file system), all the filenames are in lowercase. However, the internal links in many of the WWW pages contain capitals. I can still use netscape to browse the CD by using the mount option "-check=relaxed" (I think, this is from memory), which causes the file system to ignore case differences when opening files. Is there a better way to do it? In particular, do the capitalised file names exist when the CD is mounted using some other operating system, and, if so, is there a way to get Linux to display them? On a different topic, the CD also contains some "themes" supposedly only for Windows 95. Linux unzip will unpack the themes OK (but watch out for the very long file names which have been used), and I can display the jpeg screen backgrounds and play the .wav sound files. (The Star Trek Voyager screen background is kind of nice.) However, I don't know how to use the icon and cursor files in these themes. Does anyone know how to?
