Smolt.  But I wasn't talking about a large hardware dump, just
information on things like the hard disks you have, any existing
RAID/LVM configuration.  Again, that stuff is in the bug report so
it's maybe less important than giving the developer a thumbnail of
what you were doing when the error happened.  You sent the bug report
already, which is a great thing and commendable.  Thanks for seeing it
through.
