What I thought you asked was how to read Linux log files from a Windows installation, e.g., when Linux fails to boot. In the past I've been able to do that using ext2fsd without much difficulty. I used that method when I wasn't able to boot a rescue or live CD, and the last resort would have been to pull the hard drive from the machine and use a different computer to inspect it. But if /var/log/messages is not made available by default, then using ext2fsd won't work, and other methods become more difficult also.
I think this case is relatively obscure, but as with RHEL6, it would be nice to have a journal file viewer for Windows.
Why not read this files on another Fedora host ( or some other distro that uses systemd )? What's the reason for this hard dependency on Windows?
