I don't think that's a real problem, because if those places aren't
installing via kickstart already, they've got other issues. But I just
wanted to point out that this isn't a pure server-vs-the-desktop issue.
The long term fix would arguably be to provide a stub

that ties into a more generic event reporting interface, which in turn
could be configured to send mail elsewhere but would default to popping
up some sort of desktop notification.
