What exactly is the question here - all I can see is
I am unable to do something as easy as...

Are the 2 bootscripts the same? If so I will delete one of the posts.

Further you appear to be running fedora - the fedora forum is good as well.

Hi,

I am developing a new feature called Share log on forum for Rescatux (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/).

Currently the user is being asked these questions:


Choose the log file (A file representing the log of one of the Rescatux options)
Describe your system a bit. (Not your problem)
Describe as much exactly as you can what your problem is.
It is usually polite to say thank you to the people who are going to help you on the forum.
Just an optional signature to let your helpers who you are.


My first post is an example of what an user would post here by just copy and paste the generated output from the option. More than this the user has not edited default suggestions for the answers.

My second post is the same one as the first post but the user answers have been highlighted in bold so that you can see what user answers easier.

So... The question is if you, as an ubuntuforums.org regular help people:


like the format
like the questions that are given
if you need more information from the system (in an automatic way, not user choosing it)


Should I rephrase any of the questions?
Should I rephrase any of the suggestions?

I do not know how many people are going to use this option but if they use it I do not want angry people here because the semi-automated post has been badly designed. ;)

So... What are your thoughts?

Thank you very much!

P.S.: Sorry about the confusion about my supposed problem. My GNU/Linux just hanged out when I was trying to post my third post.
