I think it is always better to format a Mac with case sensitivity  
because then it is totally Unix compliant. In that way all unix world  
can be installed.
If you don't do that then you have a problem with mini, which input  
file is case.inM. It confuse with the mixer input, then you have to  
change the name of the mini input file. Not difficult but useless work.
Cheers,
Gilles
