lshw is installed in many distributions by default. Debian does things
differently. Get used to it. :)
You will have to install lshw then you can list your hardware.

Roy, that's great mate, and your truly altruistic help is appreciated, believe me. It is, however, not just a question of 'getting used to it' the issue rather is obtaining information. I am fairly persistent, but have my limits. For example, I didn't know lshw needed install, nor was I put off when using system/admin/add/remove apps lshw was not found. A simple google found I could install lshw with 'aptitude install lshw', and I have done so. I am inclined to try debian as it seems well supported, and had issues with other distributions I was unable to resolve. Maybe I should have utilised this forum!
thus we have:
display UNCLAIMED
description:VGA compatible controller
product: 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC)
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 2
bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
version: 11
width: 32 bits
clock: 66Mhz
capabilities: pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list
I've retyped this as am emailing on my main machine, so there may be small errors with spaces etc.
BTW, it would be a great help to be able to save/print the terminal window-can this be done?
Thanks,
Tony
