It needs libgpm.so.1. It's fairly small. Send me an address
and I will email it to you. Just gunzip, put in the /lib
directory and mc will work.

BTW, I've discovered a way for httpd to serve directly
from a DOS or Winders partition. Just mount the drive
with the 'noexec' option. This gives httpd the permission
structure it requires to allow those pages to be served.

mount -o noexec /dev/hda1 /mnt # drive C:
cd /mnt/www/html # content in C:\www\html directory
httpd -l /mnt/www/log # starts server (log in C:\www)

I would like to put together a server package, including FTP,
NFS and telnet. But first I need to provide a package to
enable users to convert BasicLinux to reside permanently on
its own HD partition.
