1. Install the `most` pageviewer: (or click here: [most](apt://most))
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo aptitude install most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Reconfigure the system to use `most` instead of `less` for paging:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --config pager
|
|
|
|

After that, manpages will appear more colourful.
