I'd suggest you read that page and then look at my question and think > real hard... Maybe your question is poorly stated, then. What I thought you asked was how to read Linux log files from a Windows installation, e.g., when Linux fails to boot. In the past I've been able to do that using ext2fsd without much difficulty. I used that method when I wasn't able to boot a rescue or live CD, and the last resort would have been to pull the hard drive from the machine and use a different computer to inspect it. But if /var/log/messages is not made available by default, then using ext2fsd won't work, and other methods become more difficult also. My main complaint is that removing the default syslog to /var/log/messages makes it harder for me to diagnose broken machines that OTHER people have set up, because those other people aren't going to have installed a non-default syslog daemon. Certainly if it's a machine I'm installing, I'll know to install syslog. Eric -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
