Also, I think instead of asking the user what type of hardware they |
| 2 |
have, they should be asked to attach the output of lspci, lsusb, and |
| 3 |
cat /proc/cpuinfo. |
| 4 |
I think someone else previously mentioned using a program called |
| 5 |
hwreport. I just gave it a try. It's only 11k and it's in portage. |
| 6 |
It basically just dumps info from various important entries under |
| 7 |
/proc and creates a tarball. So, after I installed it, I ran '# |
| 8 |
hwreport reportname' and it instantly created a reportname.tar.bz2 |
| 9 |
file. This could be attached with the survey. |
| 10 |
Of course, ideally it would be easier on the folks trying to sort out |
| 11 |
this information if there was a script to parse they surveys, extract |
| 12 |
the tarball and upload the info to a database, so you can just view |
| 13 |
the compiled info. |
