The mount command deals with mounting file systems. Thanks, Tod. Yes, those are Hebrew character sets. The Hebrew filenames show up as question marks, not letters. So if on the Nokia I make three directories on the card: EnglishDir תיקייהעברית עודאחד2 Then this is what I see on my laptop: EnglishDir ??????????? ??????2 > You probably would do well to have the Hebrew (probably already loaded > it think I see) and Latin languages loaded into your system. Of course: $ locale LANG=he_IL.utf8 LANGUAGE=he_IL:he:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="he_IL.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="he_IL.utf8" LC_TIME="he_IL.utf8" LC_COLLATE="he_IL.utf8" LC_MONETARY="he_IL.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="he_IL.utf8" LC_PAPER="he_IL.utf8" LC_NAME="he_IL.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="he_IL.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="he_IL.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="he_IL.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="he_IL.utf8" LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8 > One would hope that the SD card when connected to your USB adapter and > then plugged into your computer would auto mount.

Of course! Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
