Is there a way to view the statup messages from the system once the machine is up and running via SSH? What is the name of the file that would have the messages (specifically any output sent to the terminal with regards to detecting and installing devices)? -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra
