Xconsole isn't really what I want - it's a separate window, and only shows console messages, not ordinary messages that are sent there as they are from stuff that has loaded from .xinitrc (startx is in my login) I tried watch, but it needs an extra device, which isn't in either /dev/MAKEDEV or /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/devices.something (the file of major device numbers, so I could do a mknod) What I really want I guess is to boot from an xterm , is this possible? Thanks, Michael.
