Bug Description
Binary package hint: sysinfo
On e.g. a Windows system it is usually possible to view BIOS information (firmware version, serial number, etc) in the system info / properties. sysinfo does not show this information.
It should be possible to use the output from dmidecode to present this information to the user... however this would need dmidecode to be installed, and for sysinfo to acquire root privileges on launch.
