This isn't what I meant. I meant just how are you going to write the
application itself? I'm certatinly not deterring you from doing this, and
it is a good idea whether it is done to work remotely or locally.

I would expect it to be treated as an rpm that someone could download and
install, not something we would hide from them. I would think a nice way
to do it would be to use this program when you think you have a bug, or
your kernel crashes..

Please, if this continues take it offline, before the developers get
pissed.
