I have 8.2 installed on 2 systems. This file is dated 26 Sep 2003 and 0 bytes on both. Isn't this file supposed to be a mirror of the messages that flash on screen during boot? How do I enable saving boot messages to this file? On my Mandrake systems this is apparently enabled by default.
On my 8.2 systems there is no /var/log/boot.log file at all; maybe I have wiped it from the disks long ago, I don't remember. The boot messages are in /var/log/boot.msg.

So what does syslog (logs of a running system) have to do with the boot log (boot.msg, log of the boot messages only). They are different log files for two different processes. Please do not top post ( putting your answer before the question ) this isn't jeopardy. boot.msg is for what happens during the boot process only, /var/log/messages is for log file for what takes place while the system is running ( after the boot process ). -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
