There is a command called "script" that can be used to log everything that happens on the console. This logging issue comes up periodically, and personally, I think it's easier to use our already existing command. Type "man script". Basically, "script" gives you a new shell where everything is logged to a typescript file. When you exit the new shell, scripting is turned off. The disadvantage of this approach is that scripting does not happen on a per-package basis. But I haven't seen any Gentoo Linux developers actually requesting enhanced logging capabilities. So again, not a high priority. Best Regards, -- Daniel Robbins Chief Architect/President http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
