The boot log contains the screen messages displayed when the computer is started. It is logged to /var/log/boot.msg. Use this YaST module to view the log, for example, to check if all services and functions were started as expected.

The system log logs the operations of your computer to /var/log/messsages. Kernel messages are recorded here, sorted according to date and time.

With this module, automatically install device drivers from a Linux driver CD that contains drivers for SUSE LINUX. When installing SUSE LINUX from scratch, use this YaST module to load the required drivers from the vendor CD after the installation.
