	A fairly standard way of doing this is to edit your /etc/syslog.conf file
and add the following line:
debug.*			ttyx

where x is where you want to send it.  For example, in my /etc/syslog.conf, I have
debug.*			tty5

so that I can just press Alt-F5 to see the most recent page of errors.  If you
are wodering what the above mean, it says any error with level debug or above
(debug being the lowest level), send to ttyx.

	Hope I helped!
