I have 3 versions of mc that all get there own files in different places:
1. static mc that comes with mkpart so you can boot a CD that can do rescue stuff with mc. E.g.mc.ext is on /usr/lib/mc/ here.
2. mc 4.6.0 that has undelete with it. This is the vanilla tarball: mc.ext is on /usr/local/share/mc/
3. mc 4.6.0 that comes with the distro: debian testing: it does not have undelete, the reason I got the tarball too en it is not static, the reason I cannot use it for mkpart. mc.ext is on /etc/mc/
Question: the man page says that mc.ext is on usr/local/share/mc unless $MC_DATADIR is set. But I don't find that set anywhere. Where does mc find its files so I can put a static mc on a bootable CD that has everything I want?
Sorry for asking this here but the archive search tool is not in the best of shapes....

Debian policy is to put all configurable files in /etc.
