So l discovered. Thanks for all of you alerting me. At least I know someone is listening. And responding :-)) My point in the bug submission, however, was that the menu line item is either (a) confusing, or (b) wrong. Based on the text "many drivers ..." I expected to be presented with the opportunity to install filesystem drivers of some sort or another, not codepages. Perhaps there ought to be _two_ menu line items, one for installing exotic filesystem drivers, the other for installing code pages. Please excuse my muddying the issue by referrng to a particular filesystem which just happens to be come already installed. That was not the issue at all. I'm also replying with this by bcc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which also responded to the submission. Sorry, but I'm using an old version of KMail which can't handle more than two in-the-clear addressees.
