Dear members, Iam using mandrake9 and fedora core1 on the same PC, I can mount my partition in the /etc/fstab to use the encoding utf8 in fedora by this line /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat_c vfat defaults,umask=0000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 but it doesn't work on mandrake9. Can any one help me to set my mandrake9 to read my partition using the utf8 even if it will be by using the mount command and not the /etc/fstab thanks alot, love from, askress2009 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
