what "linux"?
I currently have no problem using hebrew filenames (iso8859-8 - 8bit) from
the
shell. ls will show hebrew characters as ?'s if your locale (LC_CTYPE
spesifically) is not set up properly, though. I figure some other programs
will behave the same. Thus they will get a wrong filename, and will have
problems accessing it.
I currently use a standard ext2 partition, with no special cp module
loaded (I don't think I compiled any hebrew codepage into the kernel. I
don't know what what effet it has, anyway).
