Hi guys!

Probably it is useful to gather information after a month since the system
was installed and user obtained some information about what does work an
what does not. Random ideas on that:

0) Based on demsg and devinfo, ask user if he/she is successful in using
particular device. For example, seeing "lnc0" ask "Does your ethernet
controller work?".

1) Provide ability to specify that someting does not work. I mean cases
where devicehas no driver attached to it at all.

2) At installation time schedule this application to modify MOTD after a
month since the system was installed. This is to remind console users.
Alternatively, at the same point, modify KDE/GNOME/OtherWM startup files to
start this application in GUI mode. Rollback chages after the user is
finished with sending the report or cancelled the task.
