boot log
 

I seem to recall that all of the text that displays on the screen when my system boots is stored in a file somewhere. Does anybody know where this is? I believe I see some error messages/warnings on bootup but it goes by to fast to read.
I'm using Slackware 9.0.

Unless you tweaked it and depending on your distro's generic config, it'll be in your log dir in a file usually called something like messages, boot, boot.log, dmesg etc etc or so. Easiest way to determine which file it is is to grep your syslog.conf for "kern.*". Another way to see the kernel ring buffer is to use "dmesg", tho that is filled continuously so you want to do/add dmesg > /some/file at the end of your boot sequence to save it.

dmesg
to send it to a file use dmesg >dmesg.txt

Git*!, I spose you can't read what's been written already.
