Well, depending on what encoding the filenames (I suppose we're still talking about filenames?) were before, you'll first have to convert them to UTF8. There is a script somewhere that will do this similar to the recode utility, but I can't find it right now. If you have some files with single cyrillic characters in their names followed by a "normal" character and that cyrillic char "eats" one to three of the following chars, then the name is not encoded in UTF8. Example (let's suppose y was a "non-standard" char for now): File name: abcdyefgh Displayed: abcd?fgh On a real terminal (not a console emulator), you can try if the command unicode-start helps. Inside KDE and other DMs, make sure you can type the characters you need properly and whether files you create are displayed properly. If this is so, all you need to do is to look for a proper console charset and fonts, and of course convert the filenames. > I think my main problem is, that I dont know whom to ask for what.

X, DM, KDE: needs proper fonts KDE: needs locale set mount: as mentioned, the FS doesn't care what encoding you're using :-) console: good luck -- Got Backup? Jabber: Shadowdancer at jabber.fsinf.de
