[tor-relays] bridge installation help please

[Colin Childs]

Hi Rob,

The default log location on Debian changed some time ago to be your syslog instead of a file in /var/log/tor. 

If you would like to have tor log to a specific file, please add the following to your torrc and restart tor:

Log notice file /var/log/tor/log

I will get this page updated right away to reflect these changes, sorry for the confusion and thank you for running bridges.
