You probably will get more by reemerging this package: sys-apps/util-linux |
28 |
|
29 |
emerge -1 util-linux |
30 |
|
31 |
At least there is the package that currently provides more on my system. |
32 |
|
33 |
Either way, I'd recommend what the more man page recommends: use less. |
34 |
Direct quote from my more man page: |
35 |
|
36 |
"More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. |
37 |
This version is especially primitive. Users should realize that |
38 |
less(1) provides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements." |
