@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.
