Nice and specific -- what _exactly_ did not work? If you got an error such
as:

bash: less: command not found

then you should "apt-get install less", or use "more" which is what comes
as standard -- a rather annoying feature of Debian, I must say.

It _will_ fit on page by page. Both less and more are pagers. You can of
course just press and hold SHIFT and press PGUP/PGDN, but the scrollback
availability is limited to both console and xterms.
