Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I wanted to use a Gentoo installation CD to be able to boot |
| 4 |
up any pc and run lshw & lspci to get a quick view |
| 5 |
of the hardware on the machine. lspci is on the 2005.0 |
| 6 |
instllation CD but, lshw is not. I have not check 2005.1. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Is their a guide or 'howto' to add things to the 2005.x cd |
| 9 |
so that one could customize the tools available at boot |
| 10 |
time, or add additional software(tools)? Any other diag |
| 11 |
tools I should add to a custom boot cd? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Sure be nice to have a cd that boots and supports as much hardware |
| 14 |
as possible, so when you see a bargan in computer hardware |
| 15 |
used or new, you can boot and check it out more closely. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Diags such ad memtest are already present and of great value, |
| 18 |
especially when testing older, used systems. |
| 19 |

Ideas on adding lshw to the boot cd's are most appreciated? |
| 21 |
It may be used where there is no Internet access, only |
| 22 |
the boot cd. |
