The Hardware Tools
------------------

irqtune:
Please edit the script in /etc/rc.boot to activate irqtune.

scsidev:
Some scripting also needs to be done to activate scsidev's features.

memtest86:
Needs to be run in real mode. For that purpose put a blank floppy in
your floppy drive and do:
cp /usr/lib/hwtools/memtest86.bin /dev/fd0

Then boot from the floppy to run the memory test.

scanport:
There is a dos-executable available in /usr/lib/hwtools/scanport.exe with
a more limited functionality than the one installed in /sbin for Linux.
Copy that file to a dos partition to use it.

scsiinfo:
Comes both with text interface and advanced X interface. Textusage with
"scsiinfo". X-Startup with "scsi-config". Must have wish installed to
make it work.
