The same is possible when you are using network-console to do part of the installation over SSH. From that point you can start a second SSH session to run a shell. If you run a 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' there you will have exactly the same as is on VT4. You can also use the "Save debug log" option in the installer's main menu to view log files from another system using a webbrowser. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
