boot info script

[Yankee]

This is a new script I've found that finds info related to
hardware and grub configuration.   It records the info
in a text file in the directory where the script was run from.

If any else besides me finds this script useful I'll do a package request.
Probably need to change the output directory to /home/user/bootinfo
as default.

Here it is :

Just for information.

I got a bit tempted here, I was running the latest liveCD for KDE34-2012.12 and as a side step because of some experimenting this was actually fully updated.

I went to the linked site and tried to download the file which I think I succeeded with but the system really started cracking, something slowed down Firefox real good and I could not get out when I wanted.  If I waited 15 plus seconds the system would relax and let me move the mouse however as soon as I started using Firefox again it would be locked up.

At one stage I just managed to see there was some waiting on ...doubleclick.. now that is a pest I have seen before, never like seing these.  I am not sure if that did have anything to do with what happened or what because My livecd experiment was over.  

I am not really intending to look into this further as I have other trails enticing me again.  

Actually I got too tempted and just made a quick visit via Opera and KDE64 test 05 system, there did not seem to be any problem, bit slow acting on the site.  File downloaded easy enough.  ZZZzz... here.

I think it is an interesting utility and could be useful, so I would say go ahead with a package request ...  but maybe it needs a  GUI ...

Worked well here. Looks like a good candidate for package request. Thank you for this find.

Well remember wherever you run the script from there will be the results file
unless specified otherwise.   Most PCL installs go without a hitch so it's not
that big of a deal anyway.
