Taking a look at the web form, it asks a bunch of rather intrusive
questions, whereas I'd prefer they get the information out of the
machine's record in moira.
I've started a thread on owls, asking their input as to whether it's
feasable to get by with less information, at least for student machines.
(I'd like us not to need to ask too many questions.) I'll try to keep
linux-dev in the loop.
I'm pretty sure that having the installer send something somewhere is
a good thing; if there's any technical barries to this, we can work on
them before we've heard back from owls.
