Assuming that you have a second VT you might find it helpful to do
CTRL-ALT-F2
root
less -N my-file
so that you can see the entire file with line numbers and switch backwards and forwards with CTRL-ALT-F1 / CTRL-ALT-F2
Of course this assumes that fatfree has the less command.
I really should try it out shouldn't I.
