Linux Kernel v2.4.30 Configuration

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".

Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)

CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437:


The Microsoft FAT file system family can deal with filenames in native language character sets. These character sets are stored in so-called DOS codepages. You need to include the appropriate codepage if you want to be able to read/write these filenames on DOS/Windows partitions correctly. This does apply to the filenames only, not to the file contents. You can include several codepages; say Y here if you want to include the DOS codepage that is used in the United States and parts of Canada. This is recommended.

Japanese charsets (Shift-JIS, EUC-JP)

CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_932:


The Microsoft FAT file system family can deal with filenames in native language character sets. These character sets are stored in so-called DOS codepages. You need to include the appropriate codepage if you want to be able to read/write these filenames on DOS/Windows partitions correctly. This does apply to the filenames only, not to the file contents. You can include several codepages; say Y here if you want to include the DOS codepage for Shift-JIS or EUC-JP. To use EUC-JP, you can use 'euc-jp' as mount option or NLS Default value during kernel configuration, instead of 'cp932'.
