Description

Boot logging was removed from the bootscripts some time ago. No need for the local2 service in /etc/syslog.conf anymore.

Trunk currently claims to be using lfs-bootscripts-20051223.tar.bz2. This version of the boot scripts still uses the boot_log function. So does lfs-bootscripts-20060315.tar.bz2. Should the book be using the later snapshot of the bootscripts? And what is the purpose for boot_log as opposed to boot_mesg if not for the now removed logging?

Once I get a better idea of what is going on, I will update the bootscript entity, edit syslog.conf, and remove the text and command about moving logger to /bin all as part of one commit.

loose ends following the removal of text wrapping and boot logging in functions. boot_log() does nothing, well 'echo -n ""', as it should. It's left in so that old scripts don't break with the new functions file. This policy was decided a long time ago (compatible for two releases). The boot_log lines should be removed from the the udev script. There is also one instance of it in rc that should be removed.
