Actually, this is a little more complicated than I thought. When I mount
the rsync target linux drive as a Samba share from the WinXP box, the
files appear to have the correct accents on the destination. But when I
view them from the linux box, they have scrambled accents -- either just
?'s if I use ls (must be a terminal issue), or different nonstandard
characters that aren't the right extended characters if I redirect the
output to a file and then view that.
I'm just trying to get back the behavior from before the upgrade. Thanks
for any suggestions.
