 	You *could* modify your /etc/syslog.conf appropritely to suppress 
some of those messages. Generally, I log everything to /var/log/messages 
('cause I'm like that), and tail it when necessary. I prefer that to being 
bombarded with console messages while I'm debugging things.

 	Syslog rocks. Logs tell all.
