In the pre-packaged 2.2 kernels it is built-in instead of a module.
In the pre-paackaged 2.4 kernels it is a module and you'll need to
load it with an entry in /etc/modules.

I don't have a 2.2 kernel anymore, but looking in the 2.4 config :

$ grep 950 /boot/config-2.4.18-386
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_950=m

it is included as a module.

$ locate 950 | grep ^/lib/modules
/lib/modules/2.4.18-386/kernel/fs/nls/nls_cp950.o

At least with the pre-packaged 2.4 kernel you can simply
'modprobe nls_cp950'.


2.2 is soo last-year.  2.4 is this-year.  ;-)
