I just installed the latest midnight commander on Fedora Core 4, using the

I am ssh'd into my linux box. When I run mc from the command line, it

always tries to start an xwindows session.  Is there a way to force mc to
run in console mode only?

Yes. Unset the DISPLAY environment variable.

  $ unset DISPLAY; mc

That should do it.
