CentOS - Sep 2006 - Ctl+Alt+F12

I am migrating from Mandriva to Centos (currently running dual boot).  One 
thing I miss on Centos is being able to switch to Console 12 and see system 
messages in real time.  My IPCop firewall has this turned on as well.  Is 
this a setting I can change, or a program I can add, or is it not available?

The change can be made in /etc/syslog.conf

add this to the end of /etc/syslog.conf  then restart syslogd
