October 05, 2008 — BarryK
I intend to build 4.1 final about 10 hours from now, then do several hours of testing on my PCs. If all looks ok, I will release it.

Looking forward to 4.1 This is a tiny util - that will encourage development of package management http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=231771#231771 Can it be sneaked in?

Let puppy mount with the option -o utf8
Username: spuch
"glad to be noticed. i'm using cute puppylinux with the locale file zh_CN.utf8.thanks to puppy.cnbits.com,they make some fixs to pmount so that it can mount my disk with many Chinese documents in it. but it seems there is still a mount to my USB stick(i'm using it to boot puppy) at startup so i can't use fixed pmount to mount it.in other words,in my boot disk,the Chinese file names don't display well,because it's no utf8 support. still,i can use little barbie(a good Chinese edition of puppy),but it's made from puppyV400 and also i just want support of Chinese, not localization everywhere.

newer kernel ?

Mount utf8
Username: Botanic
"(see comment from spuch) I'm also looking for a way to mount disks so that i can see cyrillic letters. I know it's one of the mount options, but it needs the right files... en_US.utf8 or something similar.it must be possible

Cannot do yet

"utf/cyrillic mounting, needs to be properly investigated for possible inclusion in 4.2. No kernel changes, 4.1 is frozen. Maybe for 4.2. Xorg, yes, version 7.4 is now released, so there may be an upgrade for 4.2.
