Yes, "lima-sierra-papa-charlie-india".  Keep in mind that most of these
commands are intended to be run as root with root's environment and path
(e.g. a normal user does not have "/sbin" in his/her path).

If you (as a normal user) simply did an "su" to become root then you
won't have root's environment.  You must use "su -" ("su-space-dash")
to get root's environment and path as well as becoming root.  In any
case, you should be able to run the command as "/sbin/lspci".
