Newbee - propose Splat Button

[Bob Gustafson <bobgus () rcn com>]

Hi list

I'm in the process of working through the initial boot of a new box, a 
new os (coreos), and a new (to me) iPXE.

It is a trial and error process for me - my coding is a bit sloppy and I 
don't read all of the instructions the first time around.

Wireshark has been very helpful as the boot process is between the new 
box and a host (Fedora31) I can see all of the successes and failures 
that hit the net.

-----

To increase my visibility, rather than using a boot script, I am keying 
in the boot steps by hand (kernel, initrd, ...) and then observing the 
results on my minicom screen and on wireshark.

This is a long process (given my errors..).

I can copy the lines on my minicom screen and copy the lines from 
wireshark for subsequent inspection with a cup of coffee.

It would really be nice if I could mouse over to the Wireshark window 
during my actions and click on a special BUTTON, which would enter a 
blank (or default or TBD text) into a new line on the Wireshark packet 
transcript window. The SPLAT.

Then, when I look at the minicom save, and the wireshark save, I can see 
roughly what I did at various places in time without having to ponder 
the Time column in wireshark.

Thanks for your attention, keep safe, wash hands

Bob Gustafson
