I'm sorry, but you seem to be missing the point. Firstly, there's not so much argument about how useful mc is. mc powerful and useful to many. I've been using it for quite a few things since 1999. What you have to realise is that the space on the Ubuntu installation disc is very, very limited. Every few releases, something very important to a vast majority of users have to be dropped because of the growth of all the applications. while mc is useful to many, it's certainly not critical, and the average user will certainly not want to learn mc in order to fix their X Server. By the way, how does mc fix X servers anyway? You're hitting quite hard on that point and I'm not quite sure how mc would make it easier for users to fix an X server. That's what things like the failsafe X session are for, unless you're refering to mcedit being a more intuitive editor for new users? -Jonathan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
