Well at this point I have to retract my earlier comment about mc and not 
being able to copy using the F5 key. While the system froze again 3 
times while I was testing, suddenly it stopped doing this and now I can 
copy whichever way I want: with mc, Konqueror and the command line cp 
command. All are working without a problem. Weirdest thing I've come across.

So, I'll put on hold the hassle with the copying and see what occurs 
after I reboot into RC1 later today.

Cheer.
