Hi Sebastian, That is a problem of the consolefont, since the console can't display it with cp1250... Maybe - if this font has codepage 1250, as one would assume, it should normally display a capital A with a short accent (I think that's a slavonic letter) in position hex c3. True, that

As it's Sunday, here's an odd little thing. Not long ago, while booting this machine, four ext3 partitions needed checks on remount count reaching zero. They had been set to 23, 24, 25 and 26 mounts. (I didn't choose the numbers; they were allocated at the time I was creating the file system.)
