dmesg is a command that allows you to resee the Kernel output. What I typically do is first run the script command to make a file by typing script /folder/filename.txt Then I enter the: dmesg command. I would suggest silencing speakup at this point because it will chatter on for quite a while. Then, type exit All the Kernel output is then dumped into a file named /folder/filename.txt or whatever you named the folder, and file. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gregory Nowak <romualt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, January 01, 2001 10:29 PM Subject: Re: a ton of questions > The drive is an IDE drive.
