You don't say what release, but assuming something "recent", the following are kind of useful. /tmp/anaconda.log - the stuff that gets output to tty3 /tmp/syslog - kernel messages /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log - package installation progress /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log.syslog - syslog for the install /mnt/sysimage/root/upgrade.log - package installation progress on upgrade Cheers, Jeremy
