Title: mc.uci Description: GNU Midnight Commander Version: 4.6.1 Author: see /opt/mc/AUTHORS Original-site: http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/ Copying-policy: GPL 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Extension by: mikshaw (mrblog+AT+yahoo+DOT+com) Comments: This is the full version of the Midnight Commander. It includes features such as subshell support, virtual filesystems, and built-in editor, not available in DSL. The included user menu (F2) includes some DSL-specific actions well as most of the standard MC actions. Some of the standard actions won't work in DSL unless you install additional software. Some virtual filesystems, such as deb and zip, also do not work unless you use a newer version of perl (the scripts that control these may be replaced by bash scripts in a future release). In order to use a subshell (Ctrl+o) as a non-root user in a typical DSL system, /dev/ptmx must be writeable for that user. You can accomplish this by adding the user to the 'tty' group, chmod 664 /dev/ptmx,and chown root.tty /dev/ptmx. Check out the commands 'groups' and 'usermod' for help in doing this. An easier but much less secure method is to leave the user's groups as they are and chmod 666 /dev/ptmx. I do not recommend the second method. Change-log: Current: 2006/01/27 - First release, v4.6.1
