But the commander could be used to sway a lot of windows users who are used to the windows/total commander way of work. Hope you can fix this. Frans.

Yes, there are quite a number of packages in universe which are uninstallable; many of them (like this one) require only a rebuild with current libraries.  We haven't made any concerted effort to fix them up as yet, but it will happen before release. --  - mdz -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com <A HREF="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel" TARGET="_blank">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel</A> </BODY> </HTML>
