or use "man -P" alias "man --pager" (third solution) -P, --pager pager use program `pager' to display output. This seems a good candidate as a FAQ, expecially now that people will start to upgrade their bo systems using bo-unstable (where you won't find the "updated" pagers), so I have prepared a "bogus" pager which will be installed by version -61 (hamm) and -59bo61 (bo-unstable), just to avoid the error message. fab -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | LĂder Minimo del Pluto - Debian Developer & Happy Debian User | 6F7267F5 fingerprint 57 16 C4 ED C9 86 40 7B 1A 69 A1 66 EC FB D2 5E > more than 34 months are needed to get rid of the millennium.
