Hi Lubos, >> how can I read the boot messages? I've had some big problems today >> information. Any help? For Debian >3.1, check the file "/etc/default/bootlogd" and set the variable in it: BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes After booting, the file "/var/log/boot" is available. It might contain what you are looking for.. Apart from that, messages from pppd can be found in "/var/log/syslog" (for me, that is :) Regards, Bob
