I have a question about the whereabouts of the file that contains the bootup messages. I know that this used to be under /var/log somewhere with my previous SUSE experience, but I couldn't seem to find where I expected it to be. If anybody knows this,I would appreciate their help/ thank you... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fethi Okyar Research Assistant Computational Solid Mechanics MMAE Department, IIT Chicago, IL 60616-3793 e-mail: afo@or219a.iit.edu
