please...how to pause scrolling messages at boot
 

i see what looks like errors or such scrolling by when core 3 is booting. How do you slow or pause the screen to see them

You may be able to pause it by pressing the "scroll lock" key. Pressing it again, should unlock the text.

"i see what looks like errors or such scrolling by when core 3 is booting. How do you slow or pause the screen to see them"

An easier way to examine the boot messages is to use the dmesg command;
dmesg | less

See:
man dmesg

Using grep helps edit out what you need to look at. For example if you wanted to look at every boot message containing the word fsck use:

dmesg | grep fsck | less

Hi lerningkurv,

Consider applications - system tools - system logs
in FC3.

There, you should be able to browse your boot log
as well as kernel startup log.

Good luck.

You can use the dmesg command to see the messages that were printed onscreen during boot up.
