When I do the backups from windows clients, I get some errors when
compressing with zip because of special chars that like "ç" "á", or" ã", for
example (European portuguese: PT_pt).
 I think this happens because SL is using UFT8 by default. Can I change it
to iso88591? How? Can I use both "char" settings?
In the next lines de output of "locale" and "locale -a"

[ivo@mega ~]$ locale
LANG=pt_PT.utf8
LC_CTYPE="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_TIME="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_PAPER="pt_PT.utf8"

LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT.utf8"

You can use "/etc/sysconfig/i18n".

...if you are on RHEL or CentOS or Fedora.
Debian way would be dpkg-reconfigure locales.

Also, UTF-8 should give you wider coverage than latin-1, IIRC.
