Without MC to emulate the place of NC or FC/2, I'll never make any progress with Linux. MC is ALWAYS how I begin fixing up Mandrake installation errors, navigating around to edit conf files inappropriately created by the installer, preventing X from working, HPFS and network from being accessible, not that I would use X for anything but Mozilla if I couldn't use MC in an XTerm. No orthodox file manager means I look elsewhere for an OS. http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/ -- "There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it."
