hi.
which rpm contains cpu parameters in fedora2/fedora3.
suppose we take one example :
The hard drive parameters in the hdparm rpm.
now i want about cpu parameters
I need complete details cpu and configures it while installation.
I will be more clear
I need to generate the serial number of the cpu as the random numberduring installation for uniquely giving the license agreement to the user, so that a user cannot install a single cd in more than one system.
I think u got my purpose.
Looking forward for reply
Narasimha

you can view that information like this

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

For example: My AMD XP 2800+

Code:

root@technomancer:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 6
model           : 10
model name      : Unknown CPU Type
stepping        : 0
cpu MHz         : 2084.165
cache size      : 512 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes

Why not use the Hard Disk Serial#
For example

Code:

hdparm -i /dev/hda | grep SerialNo > hdinfo

Would create a text file named hdinfo.

Code:

root@technomancer:~# hdparm -i /dev/hda | grep SerialNo > hdinfo
root@technomancer:~# cat hdinfo
 Model=Maxtor 6E020L0, FwRev=NAR61590, SerialNo=E16QP7ME
