Jordan -- When using excessively verbose boots, the scroll-back buffer often doesn't reach back far enough. Is there any way, as with dmesg.boot in a normal install, we could provide sysinstall-based access to the boot messages without using the scroll-back? I.e., a new menu option, ``Review Hardware Probe Messages'' which provided a scrollable window pointing at the contents of dmesg? On Fri, 25 Feb 2000, Jordan K.
