Yes, ordinarily I would have; and I could have piped it into a text editor to make a file I could copy in toto or attach -- or at least I could have found out how to -- but this was such a vast file, and so much of it surely irrelevant, that I couldn't see taking the bandwidth. Meanwhile, fortunately, I've discovered the secret of lshw-gui : you have to double-click (even though my machines are single-click), *not* just on what looks likeliest among the bolded text, but all the way into the upper left corner (In this case on "Desktop Computer") and open branches column by column, as if you were drilling down a series of directories in the CLI (as, I suppose, in fact you are, behind the front end). There's no way to skim to the middle and go from there. From there, I get to "Motherboard," and then to a listing of -- so help me -- BIOS, cpu, system memory, and *eleven* identical-looking choices of "Host bridge." But ten of them don't seem to lead anywhere... Any hints on what I'm looking for may look like, so I'll know it when I slog to it? Most of what I see seems to've come from VIA Technologies. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; nine (count 'em -- nine) different browsers Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
