Description Michal Svec 2007-09-11 15:50:45 UTC 
Most people are used to just have mc being present, apparently this was
broken again (full DVD default install). There was a lot of criticism
about missing mc in the past, please add it again.
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-11 16:15:02 UTC 
broken again? it's the very same as with 10.2 - you need to select "Console Tools"
Comment 2 Michal Svec 2007-09-11 16:39:10 UTC 
Indeed, I must have installed this on my own, not a regression then.
However it might be still good to have it installed by default, if
it's doable, it's an app quite some people use. If not, let's close
this then.
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2007-09-13 10:45:53 UTC 
there are many tools quite some people use - e.g. emacs. So no, I don't think we should please everyone with a default.

This is why for rescue CD boots I never use anything but Knoppix. Like others who depend on MC on normal boots, I'm virtually helpless on a command line environment without it, while highly competent with it. The Knoppix people understand the Swiss Army Knife value of MC, which includes:
1-general file manager
2-FTP client
3-Samba client
4-archive and RPM file viewer/extractor
5-editor
6-runs via remote
7-much more

you will be delighted to hear that you can do your own openSUSE live CDs with kiwi. I highly suggest it.
