Hi, Chris, ArmedSlack (Slackware for ARM, aka Slackarm) does contain a package for mc. I can also confirm that, as of a couple of months ago, slackarm-current is running well enough on the RPi. In Debian, you might possibly be able to get mc by the routine of running sudo apt-get install mc. In fact, I think that I vaguely recall doing that successfully during my first attempt to get the RPi up and running, back when I first got one of them. As to why Debian seems to bypass mc as part of the basic distribution and seems to want to make people go and get it instead, I have no idea. I have often wondered about that obvious omission, myself. Theodore Kilgore _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
