Other Help Topics :: midnight commander

The first thing I do on a DSL install is replace MC with the original, gives me a readable background, and by going to xterm and adding some libs I even get mouse scrolling. It's one of the few packages not done with apt or dpkg, as I recall apt wanted to add tons of files.

Lazy, I know but for some reason I hate tabbing in MC and that background kills my eyes. I also like to have the full power of MC.
Seems to me that Feather is using a blue background in MC, but I don't have a burnt cd handy to try.
