Re: GLUG: Funny error when renaming a file

[Paul Rahme <pgr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

It seems this file is on a dos/windows partition, not a linux partition. That 
throws case sensitivity out the window. You'll have to rename it something 
totally different, then back to the name with capitals again.

Hope this helps,
