But smolt is no longer available, e.g. for Fedora 18.


What advice do we want to put here instead? I know lspci is sometimes
useful with peripherals, and hciconfig appears helpful for Bluetooth
problems. The Control Panel "Details" tab is not all that helpful,
though it does have some stuff.

It would be nice to have an automated replacement for smolt; perhaps
something is kicking around Fedora land these days? I do see ABRT is
getting very smart about the information it collects and how it
integrates with web services.

wants me to sign the CLA, but when I do so on the administrative site,
it says I cannot be added to the group.
