Well it certantly works here. Almost everything is extracted correctly. I
could not btw test the ksymoops "feature" unfortunately.

What I did notice was the following.
This was checking "b) software" in the output file.

GNU C 2.96
Modutils 2.4.1
GNU make 3.79.1,
Binutils 2.10.90
Linux libc5 C Library not found
Linux libc6 C Library 2.2,
Linux C++ library 2.7.2.8
Dynamic linker 2.2
Procps 2.0.7
Procinfo
Psmisc 19
Net-tools 1.56
PPP command
Kdb
Sh-utils 2.0
Util-linux 2.10m
E2fsprogs 1.19,
Bash 2.04.11(1)-release

I do not have any PPP, and no kdb installed on that machine, neither do I
have procinfo. Shouldn't it say N/A or not found instead of the above? The
ppp part is not true ;-).

Other thing I thought about was the Ctrl-D thingy when entering text.
What if ppl don't have any text to enter? Shouldn't is say on each line
that if you don't have anything to write then just write N/A and press
Ctrl-D? Because pressing Ctrl-D directly doesn't do any good.

Sorry to just be a pain in the ass, and *very* sorry for not having the
time to make a patch for you :)

But you did a good job. I think this is really good for new kernel ppl.
This could be very appreciated!
