The standard install CDs don't contain Terminal, and don't contain a 
provision to otherwise run an arbitrary program. Sorry. You should be able 
to boot single-user (set the CD as startup disk and hold down Command-S 
after rebooting) and do your UNIXish best.

As for case-sensitive HFS+, that's a new feature alright - which means you 
may well have a few problems using such a filesystem under Jaguar. Your 
call. I do a lot of UNIX hacking, and I've never had any trouble due to 
HFS+'s case insensitivity.

Good luck

To a blind optimist, an optimistic realist must seem like an Accursed Cynic.
