Thomas, as root, i ran: update-alternatives --config pager
here is the output: There are 4 alternatives which provide `pager'. Selection Alternative ----------------------------------------------- 1 /bin/more *+ 2 /usr/bin/less 3 /usr/bin/most 4 /usr/bin/w3m Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 2 Using `/usr/bin/less' to provide `pager'. unfortunately, this did not fix my problem. looks like less is already my default pager; i do not override this in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc. --- Thomas Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- James Haskell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > hello all, > > > > i just upgraded from woody to sarge, and it > *seems* > > that in the process, my pager has changed from > > /usr/bin/less to /bin/more. > > e.g. if i type: > > cd /usr/include/ <tab> <tab> > > bash displays: > > Display all 370 possibilities?
