+      During the installation, logs are stored in the <filename>/tmp</filename> directory. After the installation, the files can be found in the <filename>/var/log/anaconda</filename> directory. Another set of logs is stored in in the <filename>/root</filename> directory of the target filesystem, and can be found at <filename>/mnt/sysimage/root</filename> during the installation. Some logs are also written to the virtual terminals.
