Well, yes, I start with dmesg, and I keep that output in a directory of configuration data. Also /var/log/messages. Then I use a reboot, an editor on a neighbouring machine, and Shift-PageUp/Down to read it off. Nothing too high-tech. I have several Debian machines, subtly different, some being rather modern PnP machines. If I get a problem, I have plenty to help me including the installation floppies, all the .deb files I have installed, output files like the one I quoted, ifconfig, route, various /proc files, records of how I configured the installation, kernel, X, network etc. CMOS settings, etc. etc. Cheers, -- 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 -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
