You put no-limit on the scroll-back lines, right? Yep, it was set to like 1000 or something but I changed it. I can scroll back to the start of OOo for example. It does take a while tho. lol Sadly I switched away from KDE and so I'm using Terminal now and not Konsole, and it doesn't seem to have the 'no-limit' scroll-back option, so I think I just hit the 9 key a bunch and said ok. Of course, I do like that Terminal has actual borderless mode, and that if I go fullscreen I don't get a thin border drawn around the screen. Yeah...I'm a whiner...but if I say full screen, I mean full screen!! ~daid This is why I'm sticking with KDE I guess. I'm a little upset that they are dropping KDE 3 long before KDE 4 is ready and usable for me but kde-sunset is working so far. Bad thing is, if I end up switching, I most likely won't switch back. Sort of reminds me of my ex, when I left I was done. When I have had enough of something, I've had enough. Dale :-) :-)

In less, pressing F will put it in "follow" mode, to act like tail. Not sure how that'd work for monitoring emerges and such on the fly (never really used that feature, just know of it), but less is, in general, very handy for sifting through emerge --pretend. "emerge --color y ..." will override disabling color when the output isn't a tty (which is the default because it doesn't know whether you're piping to something that can handle the color codes or not). > This matters sometimes if I'm doing work at console to unbreak my > system and I'm getting an emerge error (not the colors, but the lack > of auto-refresh or tailing). Color's sometimes helpful too, since it provides added visual queues so you can process what you're looking at just a hair faster ;) > Regards, > daid -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy

Less is really crappy for emerges at console-login. It requires you to hold down the page-down button pretty much (unless there is some option I don't know about? Does captial G do it like in vi?) I also don't like that less makes my colors disappear. Sure, it's not really important, but I mostly say this so someone can tell me I'm wrong and how to fix it. This matters sometimes if I'm doing work at console to unbreak my system and I'm getting an emerge error (not the colors, but the lack of auto-refresh or tailing). Regards, daid
