less and therefore this question is not related to GNU coreutils, but this is the mailing list of GNU coreutils. I can't tell for Mandriva, but for openSUSE you're better off asking on one of their mailing lists, or where less' RPM package tells you: $ rpm -qi $( rpm -qf $( which less )) | grep http Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org URL : http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/ Or where the documentation of less points you: AUTHOR Mark Nudelman <ma...@greenwoodsoftware.com> Send bug reports or comments to the above address or to bug-l...@gnu.org. See http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/bugs.html for the latest list of known bugs in less. For more information, see the less homepage at http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less. My personal guess is that one of the 2 distributions has added some patches on top of the upstream less version which makes the difference (if you refer to the same version at all ...). Have a nice day, Berny
