I was using the command prompt with knoppix, because I like to boot into command prompt only with "knoppix 2".
In using the "more" program, it seems to drop out after displaying the first screen only, which doesn't seem to be the proper behavior.
For example "man more | more" will only give me the first screenful and then drop out.
"more somefile" will only show me the first screenful of somefile.
Yes, I know that less is better than more but I guess I'm hardwired to type "more".
I'm wondering if "more" is broken in general, or just broken in this version of knoppix 5.1.
