2003-06-22 Thread Mike Williams
I'd like to get more visibility of what's happening when my Debian system boots, but the output of the /etc/init.d/* scripts scroll by so fast that I can't read it. Is there some way I can either make the console buffer larger (so I can scroll all the way back), or log the boot-script output for l
