The Laptop system logs

[mkbr1]

Asus 1000H netbook
Knoppix 7

Guys, where do we look for logs of the netbook ? The dmesg command is good - providing valuable info. What takes the place of var/log/messages ? A casual look in the var/log directory does not show anything that may help.

Greetings, mkbr1

Here's a suggestion.

If you want system logs for Knoppix (flash disk installation or HD-installation) do as follows:

1. rename '/etc/syslog-knoppix.conf' to '/etc/syslog-knoppix.conf_orig'
2. install "anacron"
3.
/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart

Thanks guys - will try these suggestions shortly and get back.

I forgot to write: for HD-installation you also have to install "logrotate".
