What about a dual-pronged approach? The first being updating Anaconda to support the syslog API, the second being to provide a 'logger' command in bootstrap that can be called by kickstart itself, like the one used on FBSD, like this: logger -t kickstart -p local7.warn @loghost \ "Could not find /install/foobar.rpm to install!" or something like that.
I do not see the '@loghost' option in the man page of the util-linux-2.12a-16 derived 'logger', nor does it work locally.
Interesting concept to be able to specify the syslog server directly in an end user accessible command -- remote DoS attack vectors spring unbidden to mind.
