Bug Description

during an ubuntu installation, i flipped over to one of the busy box prompts (Alt+F2 or Alt+F3); "more" seems to work as a command, although it's not listed in the commands that are available when you type "help". i'm curious as to whether there are other bits which are functional which aren't included in the list. in any case, this is not a huge issue; i'm reporting it for correctness.

this is for hardy heron, the cd i grabbed was ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.iso.

I'm running Intrepid and entered a BusyBox prompt by appending 'break=top' to my kernel boot line in grub. When I typed 'help' I saw the more command listed, so this bug is Fix Released for the latest version of busybox.
