X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:36:52 -0000 Hi All, Is it possible to write FreeBSD 8.x installation logs onto a resulting FreeBSD 8.x host via sysinstall or some scripting method? I am interested in output one sees during a normal installation plus any warning/error conditions. Ideally, this information will end up on the installed host in a directory within /var. sysinstall docs don't seem to explain any sort of facility to accomplish this. Perhaps there is someone out there who has done something similar that might be able to share their knowledge? -- Take care Rick Miller
