If you have a problem with VFAT and similar file systems, than you need
an appropriate kernel fs/nls module and then edit /etc/fstab and/or
/etc/udev/scripts/mount.sh.

Example: http://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/zaurus/files/mount/
Locale definition example: http://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/zaurus/files/czech/
(Yes, you may need empty /usr/lib/locale/{locale} for GPE login GUI.)

For historical reasons, HTTP characters are converted to 7 bits.
If you see something like "%C5%BE%C5%99%C5%A1" after using wget, then it
is not a bug, it is a feature.
