hmm sorry for my rush,
i have changed the encoding to utf8 (using the prefs dialog in 
konqueror), but still no lack. I still get "?" for filenames Do i need 
to make a global configuration change?

Using konqueror and mozilla to view unicode utf8 example 
pages(http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html), works fine though

So i suspect the cd has a different encoding or sth else is wrong.

Regards,
Christos
