Well, I should have explained better. That command would work as expected, but 
I'm talking about the default behaviour, so if you don't specify -o 
iocharset=utf8 the default will be iso-8859-1.

I discovered the issue when talking to someone else on etch and since I use my 
own build GNU/Linux kernel I can't test it right now. But while he was using 
his sytem the nls_utf8.ko was not loaded. I don't know the exact implications 
of this.

From this I understand that iso-8859-1 may not be the best for etch, but now 
it's now. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.
