Hello,
If at the console, dmesg piped into more or less should work ( `dmesg | less `). That should contain all text displayed when the system boots.
Also alot of standard messages can appear there latter ... like putting an interface into promiscuous mode.
The logs will only be available if you have syslog setup correctly ... which may be done by your distro. Look in /etc/syslog.conf to see where kern is going.
Michael.

Hello All,
I am curious as to what the boot log is called and how to scroll back and forth through it.
If I could scroll back and forth through my boot log I believe that I could learn a little bit about how my computer boots into Linux and could perhaps trim the boot daemons a little for security purposes and use only the necessary boot daemons for my purposes. I seem to remember Szemir saying something to that effect on one of his presentations on security and common sense.
