Re: How to capture start up messages?

How do I 'boot single'?
I managed to miss Brenda's message. Would you send me a string to
use to search the archives (once they are posted on debian.org)
Finally what FM do I R to find out some of these things. I like
to just read the manuals -- when I have time. It's final exam time,
and I'm a prof. Just point me, please.

Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely,
useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
(I hope this is all of the above.)
