+	  Another way to conditionally log debug output (e.g. in case of
+	  very large installers which may create gigabytes of log
+	  output) is to create a pipe:
+	</para>
+	<screen>
+	<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>mknod /tmp/debug_pipe p</userinput>
+	</screen>
+		    
+	<para>
+	  and then to run wine like that:
+	</para>
+	<screen>
+	<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine --debugmsg +relay,+snoop setup.exe &>/tmp/debug_pipe</userinput>
+	</screen>

+	<para>
+	  Since the pipe is initially blocking (and thus wine as a whole),
+	  you have to activate it by doing:
+	</para>
+	<screen>
+	<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>cat /tmp/debug_pipe</userinput>
+	</screen>
+	<para>
+	  (press Ctrl-C to stop pasting the pipe content)

+	  Once you are about to approach the problematic part of the program,

+	</para>
+	<screen>
+	<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>cat /tmp/debug_pipe >/tmp/wine.log</userinput>
+	</screen>
+	<para>
+	  to capture specifically the part that interests you from the
+	  pipe without wasting excessive amounts of HDD space and
+	  slowing down installation considerably.
