zh_CN.euc doesn't exist, I tried zh_CN.eucCN instead. Didn't work.
I tried all zh_CN* and zh_TW* ones from /usr/share/locale/ -- none of

Nut the garbage displayed by 'ls' changes depending on the one used.

http://groups.google.com/group/btload/web/msdosfs.tar.bz2 doesn't exist.

Somehow in Windows the disk is read correctly without specifying any

So I guess this is a serious defect that msdosfs driver can't do the same.
