--- Begin Message --- Sluggers, can you tell me how I can step thru the messages when I boot up.. i.e. thru Lilo and then the initial kernel startup... they normally flash by too fast for me to read, and I need to know what they are on a successful boot so I can compare them with the messages I get when I try to boot 2.6.9 (which is failing).
thanks
Rod

If dmesg is insufficent then the usual tactic to to configure serial console and run a null-modem link to another machine running Minicom (or some other terminal emulator which can log to a file).

--- Begin Message ---Hi all,
Still working on my Aiptek/Hyperpen graphic tablet. Will post the results when I finally realise I can't understand the most recent destructions I've found LOL
Has anyone got a copy of Peanut 9.5? I have 9.6 but it apparently doesn't like the CPU in my old 166mmx. I've downloaded the ISO twice, but seem to still be having probs getting a decent copy. Happy to swap/exchange/burn copy of 9.6 for 9.5 - or just for the sake of anyone who wants it :)
Thanks,
Patrick

You may not be able to scroll back right to the beginning of the bootup sequence, but you can usually {with modern video cards} get pretty close. DaZZa

I'm installing Koha Library Software http://www.koha.org and I'm lost on the apache config that I need. There is an example for setting up two VirtualHosts but many other settings in my httpd.conf file are I think conflicting. It's on a Debian laptop and its a fairly big Apache/MySQL/Perl application.
I have subscribed today to the koha mailing list and looked at the archives but my prob is not really koha but getting my httpd.conf setup for my situation. I really would like to get it running before this weekend.
Hey all, Jill and I got it all working on the weekend. I now have the Koha open source library catalog software working fine. It's really neat and very powerful.
In httpd.conf I had to comment out Port:80 and replace with Listen:80 in the main server section to get it working with the Koha virtual hosts.

--- Begin Message ---Has anyone checked out Mepis, it seems to have some similar goals to UBUNTU. It uses KDE over Gnome, but is debian based.
It was given a rave review in the article below.

Anyone checked it out ?

The most annoying thing I find is that nothing ever seems to record the "real" error messages! Glen's suggestion of serial console sounds the best way to get *everything*. -- Simon Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wongy.org

Just after bootup this should show you the booting messages. It can rapidly overflow with things like firewall log messages though. - Some distributions (well, the only one I know for sure is debian and its offspring) put a copy of the dmesg output in /var/log/dmesg very early on in init's boot process. -- Pete
