Bruno Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hi EricTry "# lshw -html >lshw.html" and you will get a nice html file in your home directory for easy viewing.** in Ubuntu: "sudo lshw -html >lshw.html" ;) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just a note: the "lshw" command is installed by default in Debian and (K)Ubuntu . . . . almost all other distros have it in their software repositories so you should be able to install it using your package manager.

BillD Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yes, in PCLos you have to get lshw from the respository and install it before it will be available.Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyj12 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) I am curious to see how this output differs from lspcidrake, or from what is shown in PCC. I forgot about this thread after I posted the first time. I am installing this now in pclos to play with.
