OK, it is a repository. If you use synaptic (which I do, mainly because 
if I use a GUI, I'm going to use as many GUIs as possible! 8-) ) then 
you can use the GUI to add universe and multiverse. This gives you many 
more packages to choose from.

If you choose to use command line tools like apt, you might need to edit 
your sources file yourself. Here's a copy of mine. Wherever it says 
'feisty' you'll have to put 'dapper' since 6.04 is 'Dapper Drake'. Then 
run apt-get update and you should be able to 'apt-get install mc'.

Cheers,

Cliff
