This needs to be in an FAQ somewhere!

Seems like a LOT of people are getting bit by this little surprise.
Enable NLS support. Someone has said that you do NOT need to enable
any code pages, but you do need to enable NLS. I generally enable Codepage
437 (US English). This is REAL obvious if you are using make xconfig - the
boxes are just below and greyed out so the dependency stands out like a
sore thumb.
BTW... I'm not real sure I like the "2.1.x" way of dealing with
the NLS stuff (separate page for nls) or the "2.0.x" way of dealing with
it gmixed in with the file system stuff.
I didn't look real REAL close, so does anyone know if the dependency
on NLS implies that the Joliet extensions to iso9660 are now in 2.0.34.
Joliet (the Micro$oft extensions for long names and access control for
iso9660) depends on the nls language set support. Seems like VFAT also
might have needed it, although simple MSDOS should not have (I think).
