That is obvious, but it doesn't answer my question:
where does MC find its files? You answered where YOU
find mc's files, I can do that too. But how does the
tarball mc know its menu is in /usr/local/share/mc and
the Debian mc know that it is in /etc/mc instead and
the mkpart mc know that it is in /usr/lib/mc? We got 3
versions of mc here with 3 different places for the
files, how does mother mc know where to find all this
stuff if I do not see $MC_DATADIR being set?
