I'm running bookworm on a RaspberryPi 4b.
mike@rpi4b3:~> uname -a
Linux MikesPI 6.1.0-rpi4-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.1.54-1+rpt2 (2023-10-05) aarch64 GNU/Linux
    There are a couple of things I don't understand and am hoping one of you out there can clue me in or at least suggest a direction to explore.
    MC loads for root in under a second but for user mike it takes 10 seconds to come up whether on the CL ir on the desktop.
    On the CL my prompt is "mike@rpi4b3:~> " but in MC it is only "$" while root's in MC is like mike's on the CL.
    I've looked at the MC docs and all the MC config files I can find but not found anything to suggest the differences in root's and mike's usage of MC. The ~/.config/mc/ini files are identical.
    When I run buster on a Pi I don't see these differences but realize they are likely different versions of MC.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike
