I agree that this would be useful

Should such probe use the default settings, or perhaps avoid the system
logs and only send hardware information?  Looking at the boot log, I see
the host name and LVM volume names being included.  I suspect it is best
to avoid submitting such information in the default setup.

Perhaps 'hw-probe -probe -upload' is a good setup to use for install
time reporting?
