I played around with the Python module some this weekend and when I did this: from libsmbios_c.system_info import get_system_name print get_system_name() I got "MacBook3,1" I know it won't work for everything, but maybe we can start relying on libsmbios for more things.libsmbios is only going to tell us things that can be gathered from the smbios, which is only present on x86-like machines. Sadly, most of the "weird" is non-x86 :( And for the things that libsmbios can tell us, I think we can get all of it from hal as well as properties of system.computer.(...)
Yeah, probably so. I was surprised at libsmbios returning something useful to me. However, I'd never really bothered looking at what it could do.
Oh well, too good to be true. -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat / Honolulu, HI _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
