    | Hi all,

    | /usr/src/linux/scripts and then:
    |
    | [root@frodo scripts]# ./report-bug.sh /tmp/BUGREPORT/
    | cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory
    |
    | [root@frodo scripts]# ls /tmp/BUGREPORT/
    | cpuinfo.bug ioports.bug modules.bug software.bug
    | iomem.bug lspci.bug scsi.bug version.bug
    |
    | Now you can simply attach all the .bug files to the bugzilla report or
    | inline them in a email.
    |

    | Any comment ?

    It can be useful. We certainly see bug reports with a good bit
    of missing information.

    I would rather see the script write all /proc etc. contents to just
    one file (with some headings prior to each file). One file would be
    easier to email inline or to attach...
