You will have to go into your kernel:- My kernel is situated in my home directory, cd /home/charlie/kernel/linux-xxxx Knowing that I have kept the configuration of my kernel build, check if you have kept such a copy. I am uncertain if Mandrake keeps one by default. I then $make mrproper $make xconfig in the main menu :- select load configuration from file Then open up the language support Check that you have enabled at the top :- NLS Option iso8859-1 Read in help :- Default NLS Option iso8859-1 CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT: The default NLS used when mounting file system. Note, that this is the NLS used by your console, not the NLS used by a specific file system (if different) to store data (filenames) on a disk. Currently, the valid values are: big5, cp437, cp737, cp775, cp850, cp852, cp855, cp857, cp860, cp861, cp862, cp863, cp864, cp865, cp866, cp869, cp874, cp932, cp936, cp949, cp950, cp1250, cp1251, cp1255, euc-jp, euc-kr, gb2312, iso8859-1, iso8859-2, iso8859-3, iso8859-4, iso8859-5, iso8859-6, iso8859-7, iso8859-8, iso8859-9, iso8859-13, iso8859-14, iso8859-15, koi8-r, koi8-ru, koi8-u, sjis, tis-620, utf8. If you specify a wrong value, it will use the built-in NLS; compatible with iso8859-1. If unsure, specify it as "iso8859-1". Then remove the UTF-8 support, $make dep $make clean, $make bzImage $make modules Then su into root and return to the directory above and #make modules_install #cp System.map /boot/System.map-xxxx #cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-xxxx You might be asked if you wish to overwrite these and say yes if you haven't already removed them from /boot first. still as root #lilo reboot Watch the messages to make certain everything is as it should be. Because you have only altered this one thing in the kernel all should be well. HTH Charlie -- Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am master of my fate and captain of my soul.
