Another mc companion package has been released: bash2. This is bash 2.0.5b (the last stable version from the 2.x branch). Why not bash 3.x? Well, bash 3 is about 700k (from nitapps.com) and bash2 is 400k. Feel the difference. I think bash 3 is too bloated for such a small device like Nokia tablets

So, a summary: Go to application manager -> Find updates -> Refresh, upgrade your mc installation, then Applications -> Tools -> install bash2.
I am getting an error when trying to install mc 1.4.6.2-pre1-1maemo2, "Unable to install mc. Installation file corrupted".

This is on a N800 Diablo.
