There is daemon called bootlogd which creates a bootlog-file named /var/log/boot. The bootlogd is part of the package sysvinit http://packages.debian.org/stable/base/sysvinit The standard behavior of the bootlogd is to be turned off, so in order to get the log file you have to edit the file /etc/default/bootlogd, to set BOOTLOGD_ENABLE equal to yes. BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=yes According to random pages on google you may have to install initscripts or module-init-tools. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=78679 Niels PS: I never understood why is bootlogd turned of by default. In case some big guru is reading this, I would be grateful for a pointer to an explanation. :) -- Niels L Ellegaard http://dirac.ruc.dk/~gnalle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
