There is no file named ospeed, but when I search with pfind for the standalone word ospeed in text, the search give two results: /bin/busybox and /bin/stty.# less --help

I have ncurses installed, is this the correct version needed?tallboy wrote:Hi musher0
I downloaded less_458 to my LupuPlus_5.2.8. As you mentioned, the existing /usr/bin/less was a link to busybox.
Less only flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second when I tried it.

New version works fine for me, complete with bi-lingual menu entries! This one is a keeper I think.
musher0, it may be something to remember if ncurses is used in later versions of puppy, a recompile will solve the problem(s). I have run into the problem before, but I cannot recall which program that refused to open.Alice Chapman Says:

The lack of libtinfo.so is not so much a specific Ubuntu oddity, some other distributions don’t provide it either. The default behaviour when building NCurses is not to produce a separate libtinfo.so. It is only done when adding the –with-termlib switch to the NCurses configure script when building NCurses.
I do agree that linking libtinfo.so explicitly is broken behaviour, as it will not exist with a default shared library build of NCurses.
The same issue can arise with libtic.so, which can also be built as a separate library from libncurses.so by use of the –with-ticlib switch.
When browsing my /lib and /usr/lib in my LupuPlus 5.2.8_005-1., I discovered something very odd.Keef wrote:This is the important bit:
