Hello guys
Just installed the brand new 2010 PCLOS, finally! The first impression is... very good, cool  ;D

I have a first little problem to solve, anyway. I have a USB external disk, formatted ext3. When i explore the content i see every "not simple" character (a,b,c,d,...) replaced with some strange symbols. To be more clear, where I should see for example an accented letter (à, è, é, etc.) i see a strange symbol.
My guess is that it could depend by UTF8, that maybe is not enabled for that device or globally and/or some missing UTF8 setting in Dolphlin.
Could anyone confirm my guess or suggest a different thought? (and the solution, too, of course :D)
Thanks
