This SHOULD work on the latest MBLDUO firmware as well

Connect to the MBL with PuTTY or Terminal and install optware

wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-mybooklive.sh
sh setup-mybooklive.sh

Issue the following commands to ensure that we can use the command “ipkg” from any directory

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin" >> /root/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin" >> /etc/profile

Close PuTTY or Terminal (Very Important)

Open PuTTY or Terminal and connect to the MBL again

ipkg update
ipkg install mc

 From PuTTY or Terminal type

mc

 Done!

It’s a little more involved than this guide but it works. I may look into updating the guide for a quick and easy apt-get install soon but I have to test the new method first
