This is for remote syslog and is not supported on EL4, though you didn't 
specify which you were using, Cobbler adds this automatically to 
Anaconda kernel arguments so it does not require manual setup or use of 
the logging directive.  I imagine the logging directive does the same as 
syslog=host:port, in either case this is better asked to kickstart-list, 
which is the list for all Anaconda related details 
(http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list)

Definitely ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] for that.   This is what it's 
there for and storage related questions come up frequently.
