Hello all.
Here is the ever popular Midnight Commander (aka "mc"), v. 4.8.18,
latest as of this writing.
It comes in two pet archives:
-- the executable, also containing about a dozen skins and a desktop file:
http://augras.eu/puppy_linux/?dir=mushe ... stFichiers
available as a pet or sfs archive;
-- and the localization files (NLS pet).
Compiled on Slim-Slacko-6, a Slacko 6 puplet. Its glicbc is 2.17, so it
should run on any Puppy with an equal or greater glibc version.
(Paragraph edited:)
The mc.desktop file calls a little launching script. It provides urxvt as an
independent and partially transparent support for mc, making it into just
another window.
Some Puppies may require additional libraries. They are offered in the
3rd post below. Once you have installed mc, please check if you need any
of them with
Code: Select all
ldd /usr/bin/mc | grep not
Any constructive feedback welcome.
Enjoy!

PS. 1 --
A minor thing: if you don't like the white console to appear behind the
mc window, you can edit line
of the mc.desktop file toTerminal=true
PS. 2 --Terminal=false
Midnight Commander's file association scripts do not work OOTB on
Puppy. To get them to work, please install the pet archive provided
below, +/- at the middle of page 2.
