Hmmm.  That should be 'https', not 'http'.  When I click on it
my Chrome browser takes me to the https site (silently autocorrecting it?)
I've fixed the link on the elinux site.   Sorry about that.

Here is a direct link to the tool, but it's worth getting to the page to read
what kernel command line options it needs.

I am always looking for more data.  If you have a system you are running
Linux on, and can edit the kernel command, I'd be very happy to have
you run grab-boot-data.sh.  It will collect a bunch of boot data and system
data, and send it to the birdcloud.org wiki, where I'm doing data analysis.

You can run the tool in a "don't send" mode and look at what it's about
to send, if you are concerned about privacy.

Thanks!
