Well, that's a good question.... Is that a bug with HardDrake??
To check if HardDrake works fine, it would be cool to be able to validate
the Hardware config using some other way... Is it thus possible to check
the hardware config through the command line? What would I need to do (what
commands to type)??
Thx !!

PS.: To answer that initial question, my @home address is a Windows (NT 4
SP5) address. Good thing I have a dual boot so I can still send emails !
