Capture Install Log

This is a Q I’ve had for a long time.

When you install a distro, you see the seconds since boot and output from the installer. Is there any way to capture that output to a text file for analyzing issues?

Is there any way to run this in a verbose mode for extra output?

Yes, but it all depends on the installer.

Easiest thing to use would be the tee command when you manually launch the installer and pipe all of that stuff to a file, but you would need to ensure that you are sending the output to a file location that will not be clobbered during the install.

Thanks. Rufus gives me the ability to make persistent storage space so that should do.

Cheers.
