1197708 2011-04-29 07:19:00 Do you really need the package list? Do you know how much stuff gets installed on "default" systems? :xmouth:

Have you considered having several versions of the script? One that targets network/wifi/internet type issues, one for screen/display issues, one for hardware eg soundcard problems and your current one that does "the works"? Saves having your entire laundry/security holes on display when you only need a certain group of answers.

Do you know how much stuff gets installed on "default" systems? :xmouth:I was thinking it could be useful for figuring out which tool to tell people to use - if they already have one installed, it's probably easiest to use what they already have. Yes, I'm aware the list is large ;).

Methinks we need a bbcode for strikethrough.
