boot info script
« on: December 31, 2012, 01:44:09 PM »
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.   ;D

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.
Packaging well will cure headaches of many :) But learning to package will cause headaches in many :(

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.
