Seeing kernel messages is an important thing indeed, but the way it's
"done" in this case goes against all principles of visual interface
design.
Isn't it possible to split the sysinst window into two, showing the
kernel output f.ex. in the bottom window and the installation stuff in
the top one? (like a stripped down version of 'screen'?)
