Me too. I've seen this question asked, then answered "It's in /var/log/something". As far as I can tell it isn't. The first messages I see in any /var/log/ file is from klogd (duh) so anything before that is apparently lost. Granted, I have no idea just how much comes before klogd since it scrolls by too fast but I don't think I'm missing too much. So is it in /var/log/something? Probably. Is it all there? I'm not convinced and there's no way to check. Interesting note: In rc2.d, hotplug will run before klogd as they are both S11. Maybe I'm losing hotplug messages? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
