What I see is charater encoding issue. Terminal does not understand UTF-8 (That is Mythbuntu 8.04 problem) while it looks like you are runing sid in en_US.UTF-8 or so. Check encoding of both system. Try work around problem using $ mc -a or $ LANG=C mc -a or something like this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
