+ klogd is a utility which intercepts and logs all
+ messages from the Linux kernel and sends the messages
+ out to the 'syslogd' utility so they can be logged. If

+ help
+ The klogd applet supports two interfaces for reading
+ kernel messages. Linux provides the klogctl() interface
+ which allows reading messages from the kernel ring buffer
+ independently from the file system.
+
+ If you answer 'N' here, klogd will use the more portable
+ approach of reading them from /proc or a device node.
+ However, this method requires the file to be available.

- The syslogd utility is used to record logs of all the
- significant events that occur on a system. Every
- message that is logged records the date and time of the
- event, and will generally also record the name of the
- application that generated the message. When used in
- conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux kernel
- can also be recorded. This is terribly useful,
- especially for finding what happened when something goes
- wrong. And something almost always will go wrong if
- you wait long enough....
