Jun Kobayashi (jkbys) wrote : Ubuntu instration breaks Japanese file names on FAT32 patition

If FAT32 patition(s) are set to mount in Ubuntu installer(see attachment image), some files named in Japanese characters on these patitions are renamed improperly.
This is Critical problem especially for users who uses Windows 95/98/Me Japanese edition. Ubuntu instration can bang up their windows environment.

Desktop CD version:
hardy-alternate-i386.iso (build on 20080413)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot PC with Ubuntu 8.10 Beta Desktop CD
2. Double click the 'Install' icon
3. Go to "Select disk(s) to patition" step
4. Select 'Manual' and continue
5. Set FAT32 patition mount to somewhere(see attachment image)
6. Continue and finish instration
7. Boot Ubuntu and reboot
8. Boot Windows on FAT32
9. You can see some files renamed like '000'
