But I also have somewhat of a linux background. I think that Osol also has a dmesg file like linux does, but I'm not positive. (That's where boot-up messages would go, just type dmesg in a terminal.) Otherwise, general system log messages in osol go in /var/adm/messages (as opposed to /var/log/messages in linux). Or poke around in /var and/or /var/adm to see if there are any other interesting log files... I found the /var/adm location by poking around because I knew there had to be some system log files around somewhere. Then you can open the log file in your favorite text editor (gui or vi or whichever....) HTH.
