Message-ID: <3A27EF1A.EA698F56@compro.net> Date: Fri, 01 Dec 2000 13:34:02 -0500 From: Mark Hounschell <markh@compro.net> Subject: tar restore of win98 and portugese I'm trying to rebuild a dual boot disk containing Win98 and SuSe6.4. I've done this many times with no problems. This particular win98 partition has some software on it for a brazilian national. It is brazilian software. This software will not restore from the tape. The error I get is that it cannot create the directory. I get the feeling that my problem has something to do with language support in the kernel. When I tarred it from the disk there were no error messages. I hope that means that the data is on the tape and all I got to do is figure out how to get it off. Here is the exact error below: tar: win98/windows/Start Menu/Programs/Programas SRF2000/IRPF - Declara\207?o de Ajuste Anual: Cannot mkdir: Invalid argument tar: win98/windows/Start Menu/Programs/Programas SRF2000/IRPF - Declara\207?o de Ajuste Anual/IRPF - Declara\207?o de Ajuste Anual 2000.lnk: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: win98/windows/Start Menu/Programs/Programas SRF2000/IRPF - Declara\207?o de Ajuste Anual/Leia_me IRPF2000.lnk: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: win98/windows/Start Menu/Programs/Programas SRF2000/IRPF - Declara\207?o de Ajuste Anual/Ajuda IRPF2000.lnk: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: win98/windows/Start Menu/Programs/Programas SRF2000/IRPF - Declara\207?o de Ajuste Anual/Desinstalar IRPF2000.lnk: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: win98/windows/Favorites/SITE MARCOLINO Brasil S?o Paulo.url: Cannot open: Invalid argument tar: win98/Eudora/Attach/RELA\200?O DOS CI.doc: Cannot open: Invalid argument I have nls-codepages 437 850 855 and 860 and nls-iso-8859-1 and nls-iso-8859-15 set to yes in my kernel. I beleive 860 is for portuguese support. Am I even on the right track here. I think in the above error message that the "\207?o de..." is pointing me to a language thing. Is the ? there because it doesn't know what else to put there. Can anyone shed any light on this please. The guy needs to pay his taxes. Thanks in advance.. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
