I tried both 1225 and 1255. No change in situation, ie, the drive
would not mount with the same error.

Does anyone? My one-year old is pushing her teeth out now, nobody sleeps!
As using copepage 1255 did not work, is there anything else that I
could try? I tried using flag -t msdos instead of -t vfat but that did
not help either.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
Hi Dothan Cohen!
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!
