Re: Console problems...
Just wanted to say that is EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks. What happened
was my /etc/syslog.conf file was missing... somehow. I have a friend with
the same version of Debian, so I just copied his over - and without editing
*poof* everything worked fine!
Of course, I will at least look through it to make sure everything is good...
Thanks!
