how do I save "boot time error messages"
Hi everybody
I was having trouble using pacman to update glibc when the ownership of /lib cannot be determined & udev & hal are installed. The pacman issue has been resolved by removing hal. However, at boot time, I now have numerous udev & hal related errors. How do I get the system to save "boot time error messages"?
Thanks in advance

You can look in /var/log/boot or you can disable clearing of boot messages.

The very worst thing you can do with free software is to download it, see that it doesn't work for some reason, leave it, and tell your friends that it doesn't work. - Tuomas Lukka

It will be a few days before I can report whether or not this works for me. I've no experience with agetty or mingetty.
In the interim, please accept my sincere thanks for your response!
