I m sorry but that's not what I mean. I mean... 
what is difference between mono and mcs as package?
I remember..... I don't need mcs-xxx.tar.bz2 package to use this
command:
$ mcs whatever.cs
Compilation successful

So I confuse, why would someone want to install mcs-xxx.tar.bz2 if you
got mcs compiler in mono-xxx.tar.bz2 package? I can compile c sharp file
without installing mcs-xxx.tar.bz2 package.

Thank you.
