Anyone out there able to make any sense of that Ruby code? Is there

I know the basic info is somewhere accessible, or sysinstall wouldn't have

It has to be a pretty simple pdf or the formatting will get messed up

Not knowing what all you've got configured exactly, here's a couple of
possible guesses to weed out the basics.
