Documentation: How to save an installation log?

[allentiak]

(I couldn't find any documentation on the installer from which to get this info, nor any other place where to ask this question...)

For the void-based installer:

Install log is saved in /tmp (/tmp/install.log if I remember right). This file can be ssh'd or sftp'd out to some other system as needed. This info needs to be placed someplace permanent (such as on the website). Leaving ticket open until the site is fully switched over to Void info in 2020.

You should also be able to save it to a USB stick. However since the ISO is limited in what is installed on it, you'd have to use a Fat32 drive. Drop to the terminal and run:
mkdir /media/usb
mount -t msdosfs -o -m=644,-M=755 /dev/da0s1 /media/usb
cp /tmp/install.log /media/usb/install.log
You'll have to change the device path depending on what its recognized as on your computer. Once you plug in the drive run dmesg | tail to see what the device path is.
