Not by default, but you can edit your /etc/syslog.conf to log it to the file of your choice. Configure it to log console.info to a file. But why can't you scroll back? rc.network is fairly late in the boot and I can scroll back over the whole thing. Just hit ScrLk (or whatever your keyboard calls it) and use the cursor keys or the PageUp and PageDn keys. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
