I would also like to hear recommendations for
alternatives to mc that are light weight, work on the
command line **and** are either included on the
FreeBSD installation CD or would be appropriate
additions to the installation CD.

mc makes it much easier/faster to finish configuring
the OS after a clean installation; so it's always the
first application I pkg_add from the ftp site.  It
would be nice to have an application with mc's basic
features on the installation CD, especially since
immediate internet access cannot be assumed.
