Thanks, I wasn't aware of lshw. But I was thinking more along the |
| 17 |
lines BelarcAdvisor in the windows world. |

But different in the sense that it isn't gui. With Belarc you have to |
| 20 |
start and run the gui, which generates an html page. To get a text |
| 21 |
file you can `save as' from the gui. |

I want straight command line so redirect is possible, but a thorough |
| 24 |
summary. Not just hdw or pci or usb. I want that but also what |
| 25 |
filesystems, which users, all installed software. How much data on |
| 26 |
which partitions, all devices broken down into their uses such as |
| 27 |
ethernet, disk controller etc etc. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In general a full scope summary. It seems this would have been |
| 30 |
invented long ago, for the treasure trove it would supply to |
| 31 |
developers. |
