[CentOS] kickstart post install show in a window

[Gary Richardson]

The output is on one of the virtual terminals. If you do a text mode
install, or hit alt-f1 and search around for the right console, you'll find
it.

One possible trick would be to run everything in a subshell (see
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/client-config/4.1.0/ch-rhnreg-ks.html),
output it to a file and run something like

echo "/usr/bin/tail -f /tmp/post_install.log" > /tmp/tail.sh
chmod +x /tmp/tail.sh
DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm "/tmp/tail.sh"

but that would require xterm being installed.
