Are you sure about that? They should be visible for some time, although that period can be rather short if you boot from an SSD. > And can I control this?

The behavior of getty(8) has changed (IIRC since util-linux 2.20), it now clears the terminal by default which means that the boot messages disappear as soon as you see the login prompt. To change that, edit /etc/inittab and start getty with the --noclear option on tty1. Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
