The question now is "where is cp-1255"? If I do a "locate kernel/fs/nls" after a recent "# updatedb" the resulting list contains: /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-21.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp1255.ko and /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-21.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-7.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.1-21.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-9.ko My old kernel seems to be missing 8859-8? -- I continue: /lib/modules/2.6.23.8-34.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp1255.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.8-34.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-7.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.8-34.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-9.ko As does my new Kernel. One thing I note right away is that my suggested mount command is probably wrong: # mount -o codepage=1255,iocharset=iso8859-8,utf8 -t vfat /dev/sdb1 Should probably be: # mount -o codepage=cp1255,iocharset=iso8859-8,utf8 -t vfat /dev/sdb1 ^^ Since the files I have are named: /lib/modules/2.6.23.8-34.fc7/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp1255.ko ^^ As well as the files close to iso8859-8 are named such in the mount command and we did not get any errors from that part of the command. BTW - Do you use Open Office.org? Do you use it in Hebrew? If so, how do you like it? If not, what do you use? I may well take Hebrew in the next few years. If so perhaps we will chat someday in Hebrew. Please let us know how this all works out! Tod
