ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/slackware/slackware-7.1/slakware/ap1/mc.tgz
(file size = 1'629'265).

So (as Sindi advised) I looked inside "mc" and saw it requires
'/lib/ld-linux.so.2' which is not installed on the system.
Where can I get this masterpiece (looks like inside some tgz
of SW 7.1, maybe you know the file ...)?
Sindi said she got "mini-mc" working on BL2 and proposed me to
search it over the i-net. I failed. Do you know a link?
