Anyone familiar with "Trustix"?


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Trustix is a slimmed down version of greater safety when used as a web server. My question is: Is there a file that contains the boot console messages exactly as shown on the console? If so, where?

Any help will be most welcomed.

TIA

trustix by default does not use x windows but it still works the same as any other distribution. The output of the dmesg command prints the kernel ring buffer and
the logs are located in /var/log directory.

Thanks for the reply.

Guess I didn't set it up that way. Nothing in there that helps. Going to have to modify that.

Sorry, I am not aware of anything that is exactly like the display when it boots.
