Re: HW Probe

[Mike Markley <mike@markley.org>]

I don't think that this is a bad goal by any means, but you're still asking
questions about how the RedHat installer does things, on a Debian list. If
you asked for suggestions on how to do it within Debian's current bootdisks
and so forth, that'd be one thing, but if you're mostly trying to duplicate
how RedHat does it, you're asking the wrong list.

Now, on to the Debian-specific question that just came out, I don't know of
any such hardware probe currently available but there are GPL'd tools which
other distros use. These could prove useful.

Also, *please* don't Cc: me on list posts. Even if you disagree with,
ignore, or are ignorant  the suggestion in the developers-reference that
list members *not* be Cc:'d on list mails, I've also set Mail-Followup-To:
and Mail-Copies-To: headers. Thanks.
