Send Fedora Your Hardware Profile

[foolish]

From the fedoraproject.org news section:

"If you have been looking for a easy way to contribute to the Fedora Project, here is your chance. Show us what hardware you are running Fedora on. It will help the project focus its development efforts and make more hardware work better with Fedora and Linux in general. Take a look at the announcement for more details. Thank you."

As stated in the announcement, if you're running FC6 or later, here's how to do this:

Open a terminal, enter:

su -c 'yum install smolt'

Enter root password when promted.

Once package is installed, enter:

smoltSendProfile

press y when promted.


Note:

Your smolt ID can be useful in many ways. Like when reporting bugs in bugzilla, refer to it to give the developers an overview of your hardware. Here in FedoraForum, it can be useful when asking questions related to hardware, simply post your smolt ID and other users can look at it. Having a link to your smolt Hardware Profile in your signature might be a good idea.

As always, the "News Spam Bots" would find this thread if we left it open, so have to close it. Please feel free to open a new thread on this topic.
