I bet you kept your /home and upgraded????
read and follow the errata with respect to the utf8 portion?
UTF8 issue when reinstalling and keeping a previous /home that was not
in UTF8
When installing instead of upgrading, and keeping a previous /home, the
install doesn't convert the /home to UTF8 and some characters might not
display properly in filenames.
To solve this issue, save the following convert-filenames-to-utf8.pl
script in your /home/UserName/, and run the following commands to
convert your /home/UserName/ to UTF8 :
cd ~/
chmod u+rx convert-filenames-to-utf8.pl
./convert-filenames-to-utf8.pl

im wondering what the purpose of midnight commander is? i mean i know
its for file moving, but why use midnight commander when you can just
use the x server or the kernel?
----end of reply----
not everyone wants to run an x server, and ease of use, as well as an
almost universal 'install-ability' giving the same
lightweight/low-overhead interface is a nice 'sale point'. it's all
about choice and 'what works for -you-', imho...
