I can't seem to find a way to set MANOPT to change the default pager for
displaying man pages to less -s.
I want to do this:
MANOPT='-P less -s'
But man apparently doesn't parse the double quotes, and treats the -s as a ne

Did something else change? You had better results before.

A work-around would be to construct a shell program that evaluated to
less -c and pass the name of that program in MANOPT. An alias won't
always be expanded where you want it to be - it depends on how
the program executes a command line - it has the option to not use the
shell to do that at all.

You are correct, of course, Jeff, but the problem with having a card

Thanks for the hint. Setting LESS to -c makes less work the way I wanted
within MH.

Yes, you're right. But the problem (and I think this is an interesting
problem) is to figure
I think the real solution lies elsewhere; I am developing a
configuration tool which will allow us to choose the order of the
devices without editing hosts.c. It may take some time to surface and
you may beat me to it, but that's OK.
I'm not sure if that's the right solution either. I

Version: 2.0.7-12
With the following /etc/mtools.ref

The kernel handles the partition fine:

I've narrowed the search as far as I am able. The rest is up to youall.
It seems that leaving my '500's power ON during Linux boot triggers
the bug. When I boot Linux with the '500 powered OFF, however, then
power it on after the login prompt appears, I can print.
