The point of wanting this information is to give us early warning signs of issues with the install. Not so much anything with cobbler but more so that perhaps the wrong profile was used for whatever machine it is that is being installed. With this report, we can quickly see if the right partition scheme was used or if there's a link status problem (it came up using 10M, half duplex instead of 1G full), etc. I could obviously just build a script to send this information when the machine boots, but I just thought there was a possibility that cobbler could support these functions out of the box.
