[ILUG] less problem

[Paul Askins]

I think I've found the problem
[jock at george2 ~]$ setenv | grep LESS
LESSKEY=/etc/.less=
LESS=-MM=
LESS=-MMN=

that extra '=' at the end is most likely the problem since it dowsn't exist in
the bash environment.  I tried re-setting with
setenv LESS=-MM
for example but it keeps appending the equals to the end again.  Anyone any
ideas what's adding that?  I haven't given it much thought as I'm having more
serious problems lately.  I've been compiling kernel 2.2.17 and have added
support for udma66/usb/win4lin and a few extra bits.  Not much problems there
except that when I reboot (from the good kernel) my machine has hung a few
times in the last week.  I get as far as:
Starting killall  OK
INIT: No more processes in this runlevel
and that's it, the box just sits there.  ctrl+alt+del does nothing, I can't
login in at another virtual console (though I can switch to it) all that's left
is a hard reset and then sitting through 40gig of fsck.  Anyway, enough ranting
on, I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of it, maybe...
