If you're using X on another machine, you can run xconsole to redirect it
to a window. Another option is modify /etc/syslog.conf so it doesn't write
anything to the console, but to whereever you want it. You could write
everything to /var/log/console.messages and then tail -f it. I don't know
if that would catch everything, but it should get most of it.
