Subject: Quick Question to the Linux/Unix Gurus.
Hey all,
I've recently been screwing around, and installing different
versions and distributions of Linux on my laptop, just to see the
differences. (IBM 380 ED, 166Mhz, 80MB Ram, Internal IDE CD-Rom) Its
actually been quite informative...from the more complex installation
(Slakware) to the easier Setup program related distributions (Red
Hat/Mandrake). My one question, which I haven't really come across until
now, is how can you view all the information that prints on the screen when
Linux is booting? Is that information written to a file somewhere so that I
can view it and see what it says? I wanted to get those files, (find a
modem that works with my laptop) and upload them to my other machine. I
just want to compare the info, from one dist to the next....just for the
heck of it. I'm not exactly the most experienced user, but I'm learning :)
Thanks,
Jay
