Don’t forget to Smolt!

One quick reminder for folks installing/upgrading openSUSE 11.1 in the days to come — we’d like as many users as possible to participate in using Smolt.
You should see a dialog about Smolt after system install with 11.1. But if not, you can run Smolt manually — just run “smoltGui,” and you’ll see a window with your hardware information and a green arrow at the top that says “Send.” Just click the green button and your system will be counted!
The information gathered by Smolt not only gives us one way of seeing how many openSUSE users there are, it also gives a picture of what kind of hardware is in use. The more we know, the better. (But not too much — Smolt is anonymous, so it doesn’t tie any of your personal data to the hardware ID or anything like that.)
I get crash dump when using smoltGui in x86_64, I should file a bug on this.
I was looking for a way to set the status (working, not working etc.) of my components, but haven’t found none, do you, maybe, know of a way to do that?
I have the same question.
But I guess, that this version of smolt frontend doesn’t support this feature.
By the way I just type ’smolt’, not ’smoltGui’ to start smolt.
And I’m using openSUSE 11.1 x86-64 version (under HP 2710p) and it works correctly.
