While I was making an attempt to setup slackware on my laptop, which is being a
total PITA, I can install and setup 2.2.16 no prob, sans X, (the closest I've
gotten is 380x400 res), anyway, I'm trying to upgrade, after upgrade, the
kernel won't finish loading, some card manager error. I'm d/l the ver 10 iso
and am going to try a fresh install.

Back to my original point, at times I was faced with just a basic linux system
and I would try and $less thisfile and $less thatfile all I got was errors,
than I tried $more and voila I could read /etc/fstab and such. so at that time
in the /sbin folder there really wasn't less at all. I know I know, I used vi
to view files too, but habit has me typing $less more and more.
