Bug 107011 – UTF-8 document, please add samba

• Product: [OLD] Docs-user
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) 2005-09-23 09:49:16 UTC]

Hello,
The UTF-8 is a great document!
Just wanted to add some more items...

1. kernel configuration
Please consider to add a note to add any filesystem codepage you want to read,
not just english and utf.
Please consider to describe more clearly how to mount NTFS or VFAT device with
proper codepage... It took me a lot of time to understand what should be done.

2. samba
Please consider to add samba section so that Windows machines will be able to
use the filesystem correctly.
[global]
dos charset = 1255 (or whatever)
unix charset = UTF-8
display charset = UTF-8

Thanks!

Section on Samba

Added a section on Samba, the diff says all. It just changed to the 15th here... so don't blame me if you're in a different timezone :)

Nice! Thanks!
But I think gentoo have a XML format that produce the HTML...

Revised edition

Yeah, that is a diff of the current official docs and the doc I made with the added Samba section - so it's all official GuideXML (the XML format which the Gentoo Docs use) :)

Changes:
Put "(or whatever)" in the <pre> tags inside <comment> tags as it is a comment.

I've tested this patch, it all works fine.
Changes: removed "(or whatever)" - looks unprofessional ^_-
