it is possible in general to ignore the horrible crap present everywhere in SGI (and MIPS and perhaps all system V's) about stupid pagers getting in the way by setting PAGER=cat. the most notable exception is inst which appears to use either its own or ignores $PAGER. can this get fixed for the next release? furthermore, it does one byte reads and thus screws up people for whom the stty fails (like coming in over a network). (for example, trying to do a manual install of everything means responding to the more? prompt with " 4\n".) i also note that installing the 3.2 tape 1 assumes you have /etc in your path (it just does a mknod).
