 The gathering procedure uses {{{lspci}}}, {{{lsusb}}}, {{{dmidecode}}} and {{{sysfs}}}.  The most frustrating and difficult part of maintaining the code is keeping up with changes in {{{/sys}}} over even minor kernel revisions.
 
-The current inventory code can all be found in the image {{{inventory.ndz}}}.  Source is controlled by {{{git}}}.  At the time of this writing there is no functioning {{{git}}} server at WINLAB, so just mail patches to {{{jfm3}}} at {{{winlab.rutgers.edu}}}.

+The current inventory code can all be found in the image {{{inventory.ndz}}} in {{{/root/inv.tar}}}.  Source is controlled by {{{git}}}.  At the time of this writing there is no functioning {{{git}}} server at WINLAB, so just mail patches to {{{jfm3}}} at {{{winlab.rutgers.edu}}}.  From {{{baseline.ndz}}}, you will also need the packages {{{sbcl}}}, {{{cl-sql}}}, and {{{cl-ppcre}}}.  '''Porting to a new baseline image is usually a fair amount of work.''' {{{sysfs}}} has proven to be a very moving target, so far.
+
+To run inventory, follow the following procedure from the console.  (It would be good to script more of this.)
+
+ 1. {{{sh> tar xvf inv.tar}}}
+ 1. {{{sh> mkdir -p ~/.sbcl/systems}}}
+ 1. {{{sh> cd inventory}}}
+ 1. {{{sh> ln -s *.asd ~/.sbcl/systems}}}
+
+You only need to do the above steps once ever.  If you use symbolic links, untarring new versions of the code over the old will not cause any problems downstream.
+
+ 1. {{{sh> sbcl}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'inventory)}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (inv:open-inventory)}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (quit)}}}
+ 1. {{{sh> orbit load all inventory.ndz}}}
+ 1. {{{sh> orbit exec inv}}}
+ 1. {{{sh> sbcl}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'inventory)}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (inv:regenerate-tags-table)}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (inv:close-inventory)}}}
+ 1. {{{sbcl> (quit)}}}
