Bruce,
Try:
less /var/log/messages
tail /var/log/messages
tail -f /var/log/messages
You may also want to look in the /var/log directory for other log files.
Discover! :-) That's what makes Linux so interesting. There's always
something more around the corner. (If nothing else; another corner. ;-)
Regards
Gustav
