a.) Please edit /etc/lanoche.conf to your needs.
b.) start `lanoche'
c.) lookup the <OUTPUT_FILE>.html file


2.) Objectives

This programm should fit on smaller systems, for instance a
"One Floppy Linux". Therefore no Perl or other sophisticated programming
methods are used.

Console/Mini Distributions

Homepage:    http://sunsite.auc.dk/mulinux/
Description: muLinux is a minimalistic, but mostly complete, script- based
             Linux distribution that fits on a single 1722k floppy. X11 and GCC
             addons are supported on additional floppies. Includes many basic
             system functions, such as PPP and Ethernet support, mail processin
             g, NFS, Samba, FTP, IRC Finger, ipfw, etc.

Homepage:    http://www.toms.net/rb/
Description: tomsrtbt is the most Linux on one floppy disk for rescue recovery
             panic and emergencies, contains tools to keep in your shirt
             pockets, is useful whenever you can't use a hard drive and
             contains about 100 rescue tools.

System Info Tools

Homepage:    http://reality.sgi.com/raju/software.html
Dependancy:  Perl
Description: hinv is a Perl script which displays the hardware configuration of
             a running Linux system. It is named after, and tries to emulate,
             the command of the same name under IRIX.

Homepage:    http://www.linux-mandrake.com/lothar/
Dependancy:  Kernel 2.2.x, Gtk+ 1.2.x
Description: The purpose of the Lothar project is to make the hardware
             configuration easier in Linux, by providing hardware detection and
             a nice graphical interface. It actually allows ethernet and sound
             card configuration. The hardware auto-detection uses the `detect'
             library.

Download:    http://www.aux-tech.org/aghi/prog/
Dependancy:
Description: sysinfo prints system information, all-in-one pack. Informations
             include network devices, user statistics, ppp-monitoring, disk
             space, etc.

Homepage:    http://www.talug.org/HOWTO/sysinfo.html
Dependancy:  /bin/bash
Description: sysinfo.sh automatically generates some specs about a Linux
             system. It's a little too specific to RedHat, but it could easily
             be modified to work under Debian or SuSE. The output is in HTML.
             Information gathered includes hardware specs, samba config, inet
             services, printers, etc.

Homepage:    http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/
Dependancy:  PHP, Linux Kernel 2.2.x
Description: phpSysInfo is a customizable PHP Script that parses dmesg,
             /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo, etc., and displays them all nicely.
             It will display information about system facts like Uptime, CPU,
             Memory, LM Sensors, SCSI, IDE, PCI, Ethernet, Floppy, and Video.

Homepage:    http://apps.freshmeat.net/homepage/948023988/
Description: htmsysinfo writes information about your system to an HTML,
             LaTeX, or ASCII text document. It is able to read system 
             information such as IDE/SCSI devices, network, CPU, RAM, kernel, 
             etc.

Homepage:    http://www.tansodesign.com/sasha/jProc/
Description: jProc is a set of CGI scripts and a Java applet that use Linux
             /proc to present a real time status of a Linux box in a web
             interface.
