Yea. gmc was the gnome GUI frontend for the CLI file mgr mc and up until the release of gnome-2.0 could also be used as the desktop handler for gnome. It was/is much faster than nautilus and in my opinion the superior fm. It's demise was 1 of several reasons which prompted me to switch from gnome to enlightenment. It should also be noted that because the iso size for 9.1 has been reduced to 650MB that mc Is Not included in the isos.

Re: [newbie] GMC on Mdk 9.0?
this is linux... if you want to download the source and compile it (and all the depends), you can run stuff from all kinds of places. if you have an older version, you can even very often add that disk to the software sources and install what ever was on that disk... I still use ViaVoice that was on the 7.2 power pack, but I also have to install a few other things (Blackdown JRE and UnixOBDC) On Tuesday 21 January 2003 12:48 pm, Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) wrote: Stephen Kuhn wrote: On Mon, 2003-01-20 at 00:02, Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) wrote: Hi, Is GMC available on MDK 9.0 software control centre?
