As the data is available (via Shift-Pageup) then there surely must be a way of getting to it and saving it. I tried with /dev/vcs* but got only the current screen. Maybe in /proc/??? somewhere? A Linux guru is needed.
Then we could have a script run as the final boot-up process to save it to a file. Im my case there is yet another complication. When svgatextmode is run it does a reset and I lose all info prior to that point. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lindsay Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Perth, Western Australia voice +61 8 9316 2486 32.0125S 115.8445E vk6lj Debian Linux =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On Mon, 22 Jun 1998, David Wright wrote: > On Fri, 19 Jun 1998, Ed Cogburn wrote: > > > David Wright wrote: > > > > > > On Fri, 19 Jun 1998, Mark Yobb wrote: > > > > > > > > I know how to use `dmesg` but I would really like to be able to > > > > get > > > > the info that scrolls across my screen (on bootup) when > > > > /etc/init.d/boot is > > > > executing.
