On my first though I wanted to make a pipe for the Menu. Programms and
scripts then pipe their output there and its then parsed, displayed
and saved. Programms and scripts would be required to be verbose in
some way, which shouldn't be to hard.
The I though about the hardware detection, which is quite a lot of
info. The rootfilesystem isn't mounted rw, so one can't create a
pipe. Also it isn't a script that could be redirected. One would need
some demon support in the kernel to handle pre-login output of the
kernel and that must display the menu, or the original input on error
and pass the output to the menu otherwise.

I will have a look at printk, I think that would be the place to grab
the output.
