For any command foo, you can do:
foo > bar Puts the output of foo in file bar, overwriting
anything that was there before
foo >> bar Append the output of foo to the end of bar
foo | bar The output of foo will be the input of bar
One useful command you can pipe to is more (or it's close relative less).
dmesg | more will let you scroll through dmesg by hitting space. man more
and man less has more information. Your logfiles should be in /var/log.
/var/log/dmesg is the startup logfile, and /var/log/messages is the
primary system log. HTH, HAND.
