quick ? hopefully - how to exit from "Manual Page"
hi;
When dropping to Root (CTRL + ALT +F1) and using the man mount command to view the manual contents for the "mount" command (Linux Programmers Manual).....once I've reached the end Line (969?) - I can get back to X using ALT + F5 no problem, but can NOT figure how to exit the man area and Move on to another command -- everytime I press ' m ' I get mark: , any letter entered after that seems to jump to the 1st instance on the page viewed.
I have tried ' ESC ' and all i get is ESC_ and nothin after that , I've tried all forms of CTRL + ? and ALT + ?
Why can't I get back to the prompt while dropped to root ?
what I see exactly is this;
Manual page mount(8) line 919/969 (END)_ and it's all highlighted in grayish, with a blinking cursor, just sitting there mocking me
thanks in advance
*edit;
Well it seems after trying CTRL + ALT +F2 or CTRL + ALT + F3 .....these return me to Root prompt, only after ALT + F5 back to X, and then ctrl+alt+f2/3 does the trick. I still would like to know how to "end" the man command from viewing like that, if possible
