Hi folks,

right now I'm going through all the stuff that pilled up in my basement and trying to get an overview. What I like to acomplish is an A4 page that lists the hardware for each individual box. Skimming the net I found some nice progs to get a listing of installed hardware. But to be honest its to deep and will not fit one page. The progs I used so fare are

lshw
lsusb
dmidecode

beside most of them have a -short option they all put out to much. So anyone of you know a script or better a program that'll give me a page full of info like:

cpu type and number
hd's and cdrom installed as well as size
memory type and size
USB type (1,2,3) and numbers
etc.

Else I might just grep and awk lshw to get some nice page. Maybe you have some ideas what should be included and what not.

Cheers zhjim

Try Hardinfo, take a look at the screencast or screenshots before deciding. You can nominate what info is displayed and output your listing to html if you want to.

Thanks for the tip Nexus. Also most of those boxes don't run a GUI the page of hardinfo links to live cd. I guess I'll go this way.

Hardinfo is just to heavy for my intent. Also one can filter for the info one wants it's just not grouped well.
I guess I'll go with lshw and grep me through it.
