Interesting : yum added pyparted, which I've never heard of, even
on yum nor pirut, as a dependency :
Installed: hwbrowser.noarch 0:0.33-1.fc7
Dependency Installed: pyparted.i386 0:1.8.5-4.fc7
Complete!

YES! That's the one I can at least make some sense of. Many
thanks!

I don't see one. But I did manage to copy (manually : precise accuracy
not guaranteed) into pine on that machine (#1), and email it to myself --
I think. That was earlier today; it hasn't arrived yet.
Later : I got a copy out of my outbox into my home directory on #1, and
managed to scp it from there to the present machine (#2). That shows the
following:
================================================
"Sound cards" -- not "video card" -- says :
VIA Technologies VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Contro [cut off]
Driver: snd-via82xx
"System devices" lists something Opteron, the printer twice, some sort
of "host controller" five times, things starting with PNP (seventeen of
them), and some other stuff.
