I agree, I came to OpenBSD from Linux too, missed mc and learned the
shell. When I found out I could comment the BROKEN line out in the
Makefile I installed mc and ignored it!

I have konqueror installed too, but I only use it as browser, not
file manager, the shell is better for 99% of my "file management".

So, learn your shell (try zsh!), andreas_(_dot_)_bichmann_(_at_)_kiosk_(_dot_)_ch, you won't
regret it. :-)
