CP1255 or ISO-8859-8 appear to be Hebrew/Latin document character sets. The mount command deals with mounting file systems. You probably would do well to have the Hebrew (probably already loaded it think I see) and Latin languages loaded into your system. One would hope that the SD card when connected to your USB adapter and then plugged into your computer would auto mount. If not, see if your phone documentation mentions the file system type. You might loose or need to reformat a card on your camera if you try this but a good guess would be "mount -t msdos /dev/xxxx /media/myphonepictures" assuming that xxxx (or xxx) is where the hardware is connected into the system and that the directory "myphonepictures" exists before the command is issued. I just placed a flash drive on my system's USB port and then ran mount. This is the last line printed by mount: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=500) "/dev/sdb1" is where the hardware is - "/media/disk" is where the files are mounted on the file system and "vfat" is the file system type. Always remember to unmount a volume before you physically remove it. Have fun!
