It should work whether or not Server or MacPorts is installed, although of course it won't say anything about them if they aren't there, and won't warn about /usr/local if MacPorts isn't installed. Fetching the marketing model name does require being online, and passes the last four characters of the system's serial number to Apple.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you can think of something else that might be interesting to add, let me know, keeping in mind that it's intended to cover the basics but <i class="">not</i> be a comprehensive hardware, OS, or application report; there are other tools, which the script mostly uses, that will provide more in one or another of those areas; bringing together just the right bits was what I wanted. Having at least a GB or two free space in / would probably be good, but I'd hope people would have noticed that by other means. Unless they've disabled swap or are very tight on disk space, RAM shouldn't be that relevant save for performance.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></body></html>
