Update of /sources/public/2009/dap/system-info
In directory hutz:/tmp/cvs-serv16960
Modified Files:
Overview.html
Log Message:
Editorial:
- fixed wrong image name in link
- typos
Substantial:
- fixed set()
- removed active flags in input/outputDevices. As the new note
explains we need a better way of expressing active devices
- battery: renamed PowerState to Power and use charge instead of level
- CPU: renamed interface CPUState to Processing
- CoolingSystem: renamed to Cooling, and status to state. Also new example
