In /etc/syslog.conf we still have: # log the bootscript output: local2.* -/var/log/boot.log
This is not a capability of the base bootscripts anymore. It was ripped out as we can't capture boot messages before the filesystem is mounted rw...well we can, but the method I provided was a little questionable at the time it was suggested. I mounted a tmpfs at /etc/rc.d/tmp and created a temporary file when rc was first called for sysinit. logging went to the temp file and the file was dumped and tmpfs unmounted just before rc exits. Again, it's not in the base bootscripts and should be removed from the book unless this feature is desired again (it's still available in the enhanced scripts in contrib). -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
