I've spent a little time with the I/O Redirection reference, for which thanks.
This is a marvelous goldmine of ideas; not mere definitions.
Not a quick read.

@klauss2008 re your post #28
You did not get a syntax error, and you got the file established.
I'm cut-and-pasting your exact command, into /etc/init.d/knoppix-startx.
Seems like we should get the same result.
Is yours a live system or normal Debian installed?
I know some here are poor-man installs.

@mecho & kl522, in regard to posts #8 & #11
In reviewing this thread, I believe I did not follow-up enough
on your references to the relevancy of /etc/syslog-knoppix.conf.
I've seen what I want in vt #12 in real-time;
I just need a way to capture it for non-real-time study.
Perhaps It is possible to alter this .conf file to get
vt #12 logged to something like /var/log/vt12.log.
This may be a shorter learning curve than trying to tap into
init and/or minirt.gz for some elegant I/O re-direction.

Just comment out the line in /etc/syslog-knoppix.conf and make a new line like this:
# *.*;auth,authpriv.none /dev/tty12
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
This should send the syslog where it supposed to be.

Outstanding.
Did what you said in post #34 & it works just as I wanted in post #1.
Adding this to my System Tools/Log File Viewer menu collection along with
.xsession-errors.
Thanks a heap.

As a postscript.
My syslog now gives a nice current-session-only, scrolllable record of about one minute, 28 seconds
of the boot-up process, which if viewed with Log File Viewer, continues on in real time.

@utu re your post #32
My system is not an HD install. I copied the Knoppix directory to my hard disk and use a persistent image.

@klaus2008 re post #37
I'm still baffled why I get a syntax error.
I do appreciate all you help.
The references are excellent, but it'll take some time to absorb all that.

Both /tmp and /var/log are mounted using tmpfs, so it really makes no difference at all where syslog is going to be routed to. /var/log only exist in RAM

So, where do I look for dmesg or kern.log?
I know how to get dmesg from the command line,
but it used to be in /var/log as well.
Why have all the logs been removed, anyway?
I originally thought maybe they'd all been turned-off at one place. You knew better.
Seems like all the XID trash in .xsession-errors, and the db for urlclassifiers amounts
to a lot more Mb than these missing logs.
Also, you are mentioned in another thread about Log File Viewer.
Hope you don't mind.
