B> set pager=1 B> https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#pager B> HTH, Yes that helps... but not in 99% of the cases, where the user is panicking and can't even boot, nonetheless access any manuals. Therefore kindly put it on the help screen that greets one before the first grub> prompt. Or make it the default, and have the pros scour the manuals if they want to figure out how to turn it off. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There is no way one can even access the manual if one cannot boot. And even TAB's list of commands flies off the screen without it. (I didn't test if it helps with TAB. I will next boot.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Package: grub2-common Version: 2.02~beta2-14 Severity: wishlist One hits c and gets a grub> prompt. One then hits TAB and gets a list that flies halfway off the screen. Please implement remedies. One types ls ... and the same problem occurs. Please provide a /p etc. like they did in DOS 40 years ago. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
