Basically there are two options: 0. you use nither a UTF-8 local or an ISO-8859-8 locale. You won't see Hebrew. Use (1) or (2). 1. You use a locale with the charset UTF-8: simply add the mount option 'utf8' (note: not 'utf-8'). You should be able to use eny file name on the partition. 2. you use a locale wit the charset ISO-8859-8: Add the mount options 'codepage=862,iocharset=iso8859-8' and hope you won't use any non-Hebrew character for file name. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
