No, I mean how do I INSTALL mc without a mouse? libgpmg is a required package for mc, and if it is not present dpkg complains and won't install mc. Since mc operates perfectly well without a mouse I can't imagine why this is so, but there it is. I guess I could go ahead and install libgpmg even though there physically is no mouse present, but won't that create problems for libgpmg setup?
