I also did grep eth /var/log/messages > eth-messages.txt, which worked. What's more, so did cp eth-messages.txt /home/btth and then (as root in /home/btth) chown -v btth eth-messages.txt, which told me it had changed ownership to btth. But I can't seem to get K3B to see that my CD drive (an HP CD-Writer) on that machine can in fact burn CDs; nor can I dig up from ancient memory how to copy it onto a floppy. Therefore, since the old P2 also can't see the router (I checked the cables!), and therefore isn't likely to be able to do scp, I can't seem to get the file into anywhere I can email or post it from.
