It quite easy to do with grml:<br>
<br>
I have a PXE boot set up which identify the hardware for an
automated recovery:<br>
<br>
Basicaly I load via boot options a perl script (
netscript=server/file<span class="Apple-style-span"
style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant:
normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height:
normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;
white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size:
medium;"></span> ) which mounts a nfs drive, does a "hwinfo"
converts the output to XML<br>
and saves that to the nfs, I use only "hwinfo --bios" to get some
serial numbers - but "hwinfo --all" should to the trick for you.<br>
<br>
XML because its quite nice to query the hwinfo information with
xpath.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi. Today I received a mail from a friend asking me if I know any tool
to make hardware inventorying and I remember using one Linux bootable
from floppy that did that but at tis time is too old and obsolete (and
I don't remember its name either :-) ).
So, I was thinking if grml comes with some kind of this software that
could save the information on a USB or through network.
Doing a fast search on Debian repository there's something called
"ocsinventory" but seems not to be part of grml (maybe I should
remaster a CD with it).
And the "hardware detection tool" that you can use at boot time is not
usable for this since I didn't find a way to save the information to a
device not network so is hard to inventory about 50 computers with it.
Thanks for all.
Ernesto.
