    misc/mc is midnight commander -- I'm not running 4.1, so I cannot with
    certainty it's available to you, but I would presume so.

            pkg_add -r mc

    should work.

    Second, 'wheel' -- its a security feature. check out the FAQs under
    'system administration'. (on the freebsd homepage) To add a user to
    the group, the easiest way is to simply edit '/etc/group' directly:

    From:
            wheel:*:0:root
    To:
            wheel:*:0:root,emon

    (or whatever your user name is) The change will take effect next time
    you log in as 'emon'

    Lastly, when posting to this list, send the email to
    freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org -- otherwise, the list doesn't see it!
