Hi that's useful info but what I actually mean is the messages that used to be recorded in /var/log/boot.log. These no longer get written at FC4.

I also turn off the "quiet" and my boot ups are more like they use to be. I think the proper direction is to have rhgb and quiet defaulted on boot though.
