Hello all,

it's seemingly such a basic question, but I can't find a way to  
redirect /etc/rc's output to a file. Editing /etc/syslog.conf changed  
nothing, /var/log/messages still stops where /etc/rc should begin. I  
can see the output on the console, but that's far to fast for the  
human eye. Short of hooking up a serial console to catch the log on a  
second machine, is there a way to get this output logged into a file?


Thanks,
Markus
