You can hit ^S to pause the output (if you're quick enough),
then ^Q to restart.  There's also the 'dmesg' command.  You can also
go into the scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ and put in 'echo stuff' in
them to tell you what's going on.  Basically, init grabs all the files
that start with S in that directory and runs them in numerical order
(S10, S20, S35, etc).

`rpm -qa | grep samba`
`rpm -qil samba` (or whatever the package name is)
`which samba`
look in the init scripts and see if they match up

You should be able to configure it to say 'network' instead of
'modem', but the last time I used win95 was ... oh, a long time ago.
