Here's a trick for capturing the contents of the virtual terminals to a file:
just 'cat' the corresponding /dev/vcs* device (where /dev/vcs1 corresponds to
virtual terminal 1, /dev/vcs2 is virtual terminal 2, etc. While you can't
capture Slackware's live-boot dialog with this, you certainly can capture all
the setup and installpkg screens.
