Thanks, I wasn't aware of lshw. But I was thinking more along the lines BelarcAdvisor in the windows world. But different in the sense that it isn't gui. With Belarc you have to start and run the gui, which generates an html page. To get a text file you can `save as' from the gui. I want straight command line so redirect is possible, but a thorough summary. Not just hdw or pci or usb. I want that but also what filesystems, which users, all installed software. How much data on which partitions, all devices broken down into their uses such as ethernet, disk controller etc etc. In general a full scope summary. It seems this would have been invented long ago, for the treasure trove it would supply to developers. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
