Although dmesg and /var/log/messages are useful, the best method of seeing *everything* is to use Shift-PageUp/Down. This is always present in VCs just so long as you look before you switch to another VC (which throws away everything above the top of the screen). -- David Wright, Open University, Earth Science Department, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA U.K. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel: +44 1908 653 739 fax: +44 1908 655 151 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
