LANG=en_DK.UTF-8 /dev/sda1 on /media/KINGSTON type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000) It is auto mounted by the Gnome desktop. I have tried to mount it manually without mount options as well: /dev/sda1 on /mnt type vfat (rw) But alas, same problem. I have been fiddling with the shortname option and iocharset too, also without success. Thomas
