Package: bootchart2
Version: 0.12.6-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,
the package doesn't have a manpage. I've tried to write one, with the
informations shipped in the README file. Actually, I've write two different
manpages: a general overview for the package (named bootchart2.1) and a
specific page for bootchartd (bootchartd.1).
Hope this helps, patches attached.

Thanks for your work,
Francesca

bootchart2 consists of three different pieces of software:
a shell script, a collector and a visualisation tool.
For details on the visualisation tool, please see

After install simply add these options to your kernel command line, normally in 
\fI/boot/grub/menu.lst:

Then after bootup run pybootchartgui to get an interactive
chart rendering tool.
If you want to chart the initrd, add
