Hello again, list.

Please disregard this for the time being. I got a personal response that 
pointed out the doing a cat on boot.log produced a specific correct 
format whereis I was used to using my gui editor to display log files. 
Using the "log viewer" utility also shows these non-unix line ending 
which I found annoying.

For those who are interested in additional boot.log settings, I found 
this page:

https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s2-sysconfig-init.html

from the old deployment guide but I'm sure these en variables are the 
same now -- well at least in the 6.x series.
