Re: How/where can I see the messages from booting

After you boot you can use the command "dmesg" and pipe it through "less" or "more". For example at the prompt, $ dmesg | less That won't show the whole boot message but most of it. hth, kent [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi all, > > as you can see I'm new in that media because that's my second

screen 'savers'

I'm looking for what might be blanking out the screen on several linux systems. On all three systems, power management in the bios is set to 'always on.' All three systems have dramatically different monitors. I'm running metrox's Xwindows and have not selected any of the screen saver/power do

keystroke generation

I'd like to create an on-screen button that would send a particular keystroke to a running program. (Basically, the up & down arrows to netscape.) I'm running fvwm2 and feel kinda comfortable with tk. Any ideas? Cheers, judith

Exim - run from inetd?

I had a problem back when I was running HAMM, and as such I had to load exim as a daemon... now I've since found out what the problem is, and as such I want to switch exim back to running from inetd... How do I go about this? I'd experiment, but I don't want to lose any mail (that was the reason
