There is a way though. Simply scroll back to the messages with Shift+PageUp. This works for the first console because in /etc/inittab the option --noclear is included in:

In SuSE 6.3 anyway. So mingetty does not erase the messages. (With thanks to Jonathan Wilson for this information.) Now I managed to copy the consecutive screen contents into a text file.
By the way: if you have forgotten something, of course you can always find it back in the archive.

How did you manage to copy the screens into a text file?
