Hi.
Is the MC available in the Portage tree ?
Or maybe some other console file manager...
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Arturas B. |

MC doesn't need any GUI, it's an console app. But MC has an dep. to XFree - so bring some time with you when you start the emerge process. On my 233 MHz Router it took 8:30 hours to compile. |

Are there any other (functional enought) alternatives without
GUI dependences ? |

Maybe a '--nodeps' work, but i have no idea if MC compiles well then. |

X is not a dependancy of the midnight commander. XFree is only compiled if you have X in your USE var. So if you enter the following commands:
export USE="-X"
emerge mc
you will just install the mc, not XFree. |

More precisely, midnight commander has optional support for X, but X has to be installed for it to work (obviously). Having USE="-X" tells it to compile without support for X, hence it's no longer a dependancy. _________________ "An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish.
