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.
