-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ned, Sounds like what you are looking for is the output of "dmesg". When the system boots up you can do something like: "dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.out" and then you can review dmesg.out to see all the hardware and bootup messages. Perhaps this is what is also referred to as power up messages. - -- Worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair -- It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere. - -- Raul A.
