You can switch to VT4, where `tail -f /var/log/syslog` is running, which captures the kernel messages as well. > The vast majority of people should be using usb sticks instead of > optical discs so it should be possible to have a mutable filesystem on > it. The installation guide should have something about this. If the system isn't entirely locked up (“just” the installer interface), you should be able to run commands from other VTs (e.g. VT2, VT3). The set of commands is limited, but mounting, copying, unmounting should work fine.
