[ovs-discuss] 2.3.0/1 installation issues

[Bob Lantz]

1. To answer your question, if two files have the same name, deleting one will delete the other.
2. I meant to amend this "just guessing, possibly" but I hit send too early ;-)
3. Is NTFS also case-insensitive by default? Could be a possible issue there too.
4. The Linux kernel cannot be built on a case-insensitive file system, so that is why SharedFolder worried me.
