So I renamed /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/syslog-orig.conf and renamed /etc/syslog-knoppix.conf to /etc/syslog.conf, but I still don't see anything much in my var/log directory, even after a reboot:
... oh, no! Do not rename the origin '/etc/syslog.conf', only '/etc/syslog-knoppix.conf'.

The script '/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig' checks for existence of 'syslog-knoppix.conf'; if 'syslog-knoppix.conf' isn't found, 'syslog.conf' will be used.

Have a look in both this conf-files and you will see the difference in syslogging.
