luckily on most linux systems more is aliased or linked to less if it is not I would use <br />
<br />
rpm --help | less<br />
<br />
less is more!<br />
<br />
you can use the vi keys (hjkl) to move around the document and you can do searches with the / key<br />
<br />
but as I said more is usually the same as less on linux<br />

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
