 Laptop not running X. Command line only.
 On login says: NetBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (constty)
 
 less locks up computer when scrolling large text file, like
 /usr/src/UPDATING. When I begin to scroll down the file, less command locks
 up  the PC half way through reading the file. Keyboard becomes non
 responsive
 
 Thanks
