If the OP is still reading, I'd strongly recommend learning to use MC. Its the "runs on just about anything" Swiss Army Knife of file managers. I use it as my main tool as its way quicker and a lot easier to use once you've got used to the fastkey default operation. No pesky squinting and pecking at things with a mouse (and missing) required. -- *=( http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/ *=( For all your UK news needs.

TuxCommander is available in stable version tuxcmd-0.5.103 at the link which I provided above. > when the original Midnight Commander is just as useful Does Midnight Commander allow direct access to NFS, FTP, SFTP etc network files via its user interface? |
