On my system, this command does print out information for quite a few components, I just wondered if this information is all I need to work =66rom or is it not an accurate or detailed enough representation of the hardware I have in my computer. I'd really appreciate any advice on how others go about this. =20 =20 Jamie --3MwIy2ne0vdjdPXF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkss+5UACgkQdIRO74Qt02hvWACdF+baii0mBZgD1gNuKF5PQlsb wXQAoJTNPKYpG37uPS5kBO0GTYeTelpE =LAZ0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3MwIy2ne0vdjdPXF--
