USB Stick with files with Umlauts

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi,

I here have a SuSE 9.3, running KDE 3.5.3. I have a USB stick, with vfat 
filesystem. When I create files on windows on it, containing umlauts in their 
name, and then mount it to the SuSE box, I am unable to access these files 
containing umlauts. I have these "empty boxes" in the file name, replacing the 
umlauts. I can access folders with umlauts, but not e.g. click on a document, 
to open it, OpenOffice says it is unable to find the file, where OpenOffice is 
generally right, because there is no file with these "empty boxes" in the 
filename.
I can rename the file on the console, but thats a bit cumbersome.
Is there a way to allow me to click on such a file as any other file?

kind regards
Sebastian
