Title: [Solved] dont clear screen on user login prompt
Post by: negative on 22 August 2020, 07:01:05
How? would be nice that the boot screen logs are retained when user login prompt appears and/or exiting from a window manager (no login manager used) for example..

By default on openrc, eg the DM starts on tty7, while the boot screen is on tty1.

Then simply configure your getty in /etc/conf.d I'd say.
