This utility will collect some detailed information about the
hardware and setup of your Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
The information is collected and an archive is packaged under
/tmp, which you can send to a support representative.
Red Hat will use this information for diagnostic purposes ONLY
and it will be considered confidential information.
I do see a bug above...
