That doesn't work here. I can type in /progress but it just shows up at |
40 |
the bottom. If I try "n" or shift+n I just get a n or N. Maybe my man |
41 |
page uses something different. |

That said, I haven't tried Konqueror in a while so I found it, it gives |
44 |
a error but I can type in man:dd and it shows up. It has a search |
45 |
tool. Last time I tried it, wouldn't even come up. That was a while |
46 |
ago tho. Guess it got fixed. |
