Boot messages log file?

Is there a file where all the boot messages are kept with errors.

Its all just too fast to read.

Any suggestions?

Josh

The most of the log files are kept in the /var/log directory of your Linux pc. The one you are looking for is propably a file called boot.log

Hope that helped.
