Midnight Commander is a visual and cross-platform orthodox file manager and a clone of Norton Commander.  It’s a feature rich full-screen text mode application that allows you to copy, move and delete files and whole directory trees, search for files and run commands in the subshell. Internal viewer and editor are included.

How to install:

1. Download the .info and .patch files below and save them both in the ‘download’ folder on your laptop, or download and save them on a USB stick / SD card, put this in your laptop and copy the files to the ‘download’ folder. It’s crucial that the .info and .patch file are in the same folder.

2. Start the ‘Software Installer’ program on the 4th screen of the desktop (use the arrows at the bottom of the screen to switch screens).

3. Click the ‘Add’ button. A dialog screen will open.

4. Search the ‘midnight_commander-R3-01(20080907).info’ file and click ‘Open’. The patch will be installed. Click finish.

5. Now, if everything has gone right, a Midnight Commander icon will be on one of the desktop screens. Click it and enjoy!
