Hi Beartooth;
I am answering this at the risk of offending you.
On the contrary! Many thanks!
When in doubt, assume I *have* missed something; as the Boomers
retire and escape the Gates of Hell, there will be accelerating numbers
of people needing the same things -- even when I do know or have seen, as
was not the case here. You're a great help!
Because of the advice given in response to your original post and
wanting a hardware browser myself, I downloaded and installed lshw-gui.
A little confusing at first, the display needs to be better configured.
Are you clicking on each of the components to get the details ?
(i.e. It's parts tree is horizontal rather than vertical)
No, in fact I hadn't. I certainly wondered why the display was so
sparse, but a horizontal tree is new to me (at least if it's an
electronic tree).
So I tried lshw, lshw-gui, and lshw-gui &; but no combination of
left clicks, right clicks, and hitting enter with either of the latter
two got me any more than a tiny yellow box saying "This pane
displays .... <whatever>" (I have all machines set to single-click, in
case that matters.) And I get that much (more than I had before) just by
hovering the cursor.
