My FAT32 partition is encoded with ISO8859-2 charset, but Fedora doesn't 
seem to accept that and reads it, as something different (even though I 
specified the charset as ISO8859-2). As a result, I can't read files, that 
have any special characters in their names. I'd like to know, how to make 
Fedora accept central europian encoding (ISO8859-2). This feature works 
just fine under Suse and Mandrake linux. Thanx ;)
