What I'm trying to solve is reading the output from "emerge --depclean" one screen full at a time and at the end being asked whether or not I really want to unmerge all packages listed. And just running $ emerge --ask --depclean | less did not work when tested with a single package to be removed: the output from "emerge" was displayed on less than a single screen causing "less" to just terminate due to my setting of environment variable "LESS", but "emerge" never issued the question whether or not to continue nor did it accept an answer. I had to kill it with "^C" from the shell. I hope I could make my problem a bit clearer this time ... :-) Sincerely, Rainer
