Hello everyone, The problem is: I have SuSE Linux 9.0 Professional and Windows 98 (Russian edition) on the same computer. I can mount windows partitions without any problems, but if folder/file name in windows partition is in russian I can see only different characters (but not cyrillic characters). In /etc/fstab I've wrote parameters like iocharset=cp1251 and codepage=866, but nothing have been changed (it works fine in ASP Linux - russian distribution based on Red Hat). I can print text in russian in the editor etc. How can I handle this problem? Thank you for help! -- Best regards, Denys Slipetskyy mailto:sden@land.ru

you have to enter the charset of your locale into the iocharset option of your mount command. You hopefully are running on UTF-8 locale (ru_RU.UTF-8) and thus you have to use iocharset=utf8 in that case. To see the charset you are currently using enter "locale charmap". To change the default locale system-wide, for example to switch to ru_RU.UTF-8, edit /etc/sysconfig/language. To rename your existing files on the linux filesystem to UTF-8 use a tool like convmv for example. Bjoern
