boot message
 
Hello all,

I feel like a nerd asking this, but isn't a log kept from boot time? Where do I find it? I can't believe I'm this brain dead today!
When FC5 is booting I can see the details but after boot and login I'd like to review it. I've looked in /var/log... nothing.
Where do I look?

Thanks,

Freestone

try
Code:

dmesg
and have a look at other files in /var/log

oops sorry, i see you did
you may need to configure logging. is syslogd or klogd running
Code:

ps -ef | grep log
I've never used Fedora, so don't know how to make these start at boot, at least they are something to google (or other more ethical search engine) for.

As per above, dmesg is what I use most - pipe it to less. Doesn't get the messages from the various init scripts though - probably need something like bootlog for that.
