I have asked this question years ago on the MC mailing list, but got no answer: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02261.html
> MC FAQ: >> 6.6 When I use Ctrl-O I don't get a subshell. How do I fix this? >> >> Only bash, tcsh and zsh can be used as subshell.

Can anybody from this list tell me if this is somehow possible? I know how to compile and run Bash for my target platform, but I dislike the though of using it just for mc subshell support. I do not need it for any other purpose. Is there any way to trick so as for it to use BusyBox ash (my /bin/sh)? -- Alexander Kriegisch (kriegaex) http://freetz.org _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
