Hi I've just had to relocate my FC1 to a different partition. I used tar... Then I edited the new fedora's /etc/fstab & /etc/lilo.conf & a few scripts. FC1 booted successfully in it's new home. Everything seams to be working correctly (so far). But just before the runlevel 3 boot prompt there are a few warning messages I don't get time to read before the boot prompt steps on them. No problem I thinks. <shift>+<page up> But while most of the boot screen messages are there, the error messages I'm looking for which were near the bottom are not there. I searched the archive for boot + log. But all it told me about was the dmesg command and of course var/log/* But nothing in var/log (including dmesg seems to have the same exact text as was printed to the console. I'm sure that the data in the logs is probably considered more significant. But I sometimes see errors there that do NOT appear in the /var/log logs. I'm thinking that this output is not saved to a log by default. I'd like to know if there is something I can do to cause this exact text to actually be logged someplace??? or if there is a way to stop the login prompt from clearing the last screenful of the boot screen messages??? -- | ? ? | | -=- -=- I'm NOT clueless... | <?> <?> But I just don't know. | ^ Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | --- J(tWdy)P | <jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx> | ? ?
