There is no log of the %pre and %post output that gets copied to the disk (unless I missed this somehow). 2) Last time I checked the logs that get generated for %post %pre scriplets get overwritten when there are multiple %post and %pre scriptlets. These need to be in unique files. 3) Finally, last I checked, and my memory is foggy here, it looked like certain logs (and I believe it was the %post log) was only generated when you ran a serial install. These logs can be handy even from a normal VGA log (especially if it was an automated install, and the user has rebooted...but then we would need them on the hard drive (-;). If these all seem like valid requests I will at least file a RFE bugzilla report.
