Notes: 1) I _can_ mount without specifing a codepage, but then every Hebrew character in the file names and directory names is replaced with a ? sign. 2) The "select encoding" option in Konqueror is grey when browsing the card. 3) I get this at the end of dmesg when I mount with the codepage: [62231.112000] FAT: Unrecognized mount option "codepage=cp1255" or missing value Why should I get that error? I don't see a typo. Also, in mtab I get this when mounting: /dev/sdb /media/usb vfat rw 0 0 So, the filesystem most certainly is vfat. There is nothing in fstab about /dev/sdb 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.
