How to stop Linux changing the case of my file (build in Windows) names?

Hi:

I installed a SUSE Linux 10.3 in my computer. I have some files built in Windows XP. While I copied them to SUSE 10.3, all the upcase letters in the file names or folder names were altered to lower case. I would very much appreciate to know how to stop Linux from doing this.

I don't knoe easy method in SUSE if it exists. But you edit /etc/fstab. In options column, add shortname=winnt,posix. This maintains case for working between windows and linux for me in my debian etch.

What did you use? Konqueror maintains the names integrity I think.
