It's supposed to allow you to see console errors after reboot (say after a panic). Personaly, I wish dmesg(8) would only show the current boot's dmesg output unless you pass a special flag since info from previous boots is of rather limited use in almost all cases, but currently it saves the buffer at boot if possiable. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
