No worries.
Could you direct me to some tutorial or something which would help me to understand how to "switch to another virtual console" to access syslog?
When the installer is running, you can press <Alt> and <Arrow Left> or <Arrow Right> to switch between what is called "virtual terminals". When you get a to a console prompt, you can copy the "syslog" file with: # scp /var/log/syslog joe@foo: which copies the file "syslog" to the computer "foo" into the home directory of the user "joe".
I have tried following: I disconnected my SSD off my G5 and then connected it to a Linux laptop as USB drive, but /var/log folder doesn't contain syslog file.. it says it is in journal dir, but I don't see it there either.. So honestly I don't know how to access that syslog file..
The installer log is found in "/var/log/syslog" during installation. However, when the installation has finished, the log files can be found in the directory "/var/log/installer". If you have access to this directory, just compress the directory and sent it to the list. # tar czf install-log.tar.gz /var/log/installer Adrian -- .''`.
