From d225451bc35ba1d4e6175bd60e978ffe6c19db1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Longo Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2024 15:58:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Reminder to install mc, not Midnight Commander (#1121) Add admonition to the Linux `mc` install steps about installing the correct binary from `dl.min.io`. If you use your native package manager, you are very likely to get GNU Midnight Commander instead.
