But syslogd is started well after setclock. Furthermore, /var is not guaranteed to be writable until after mountfs runs, which is after setclock, too. So, logging should be fine now and with any of the proposed changes. Unless you mean something else by boot logging. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
