Fwd: Re: Getting a White (vs. Gray) Background

[Randy Kramer]

OK, darn, looks like I screwed up.  Turns out Sourceforge did respond 
to my question, back on 4 Jan 2002 (support request 499185) saying that 
they use "Debian GNU/Linux stable platform, with stock configuration 
for mc and terminal settings".  (I don't know how in the world I missed 
that, but, anyway...)

I use Mandrake 7.2 and 8.2.  Tried to install Debian once and set it 
aside for the time being.  Can anybody who is using MC on Debian 
confirm that the default colors for say the "main" "directory panel" 
are black text on a white background?

If so, any hints on how I can get that executable and move it to 
Mandrake?

thanks, and sorry for not checking back on that request before sending 
my first post
