Root does not need Swiss Army knives slashing about. Isn't that odd? I almost never run mc as anything other than root. I normally use Nautilus or Thunar for file work, but if it's anything a bit hairy, I fire up a sudo mc terminal. It's Zen, or something, I see the old Norton Commander window and it takes me back to the days when hard drives were measured in tens of megabytes, and the computer cost as much as a car.
