[kwlug-disc] cd case insensitive? (NOT autocompletion)

[unsolicited]

It occurred to me I ran into this because I moved files from a windows 
share to the local ext4 disk, and that case hadn't been an issue before.

So, one way around this is to mount your own files via samba:

smbmount //mycomputer/mydata /mnt/data -o nocase

Allows cd /mnt/data/me


... strange, but true!
(strange as in, why would one want to indirectly access their own disk)
