Subject: CONFIG_NLS in kernel options
Hi everyone,
I am a little confused with this menu option for kernel compilation
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_9
If you want to display filenames with native language characters
from the Microsoft fat filesystem family or from JOLIET CDROMs
correctly on the screen, you need to include the appropriate
input/output character sets. Say Y here for the Latin 5 character
set, and it replaces the rarely needed Icelandic letters in Latin 1
with the Turkish ones. Useful in Turkey.
What does this exactly do ? To my understanding it has nothing to do
with locale support in regards to time money sort order etc. This is
just to read and write Microsoft fat filesystem.
If I have this in the kernel as a module or as default that is at the
end what it will provide !
Thanks in advance
