You probably will get more by reemerging this package: sys-apps/util-linux emerge -1 util-linux At least there is the package that currently provides more on my system. Either way, I'd recommend what the more man page recommends: use less. Direct quote from my more man page: "More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. This version is especially primitive. Users should realize that less(1) provides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements."
