10.4: Use Adobe Creative Suite with case-sensitive HFS

To me an application that can't cope with a case sensitive file system si "poorly designed" as well! There is no reason for that. Just clean up a lazy written source code. And come on think of it CS2 is brand new, but it still has a problem with it. I am sure Adobe gets all betas of OS X Tiger and other case sensitive file systems can be used with OS X for quite a while now.

10.4: Use Adobe Creative Suite with case-sensitive HFS

Stupid question (I'm sure), but how do you tell if you inadvertently selected the "case sensitive" option if you did a Tiger clean install?

I ran DiskUtility, and it says "File System: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Alternatively, if I look in SystemProfiler, it says: " File System: Journaled HFS+"

Does this mean that I did not select "case sensitive". Thanks (sorry for my inexperience).

Case Sensitive isn't anyhting new, but even Apple warns against using it for any applications:

On a side note, how do you actually go about formatting your disk HFSX?, You don't get that option when installing Tiger, and there isn't anything in Disk Utility.
