In a terminal:
 sudo lshw -html > ~/hardware.html

In Firefox, type the URL ~/hardware.html into your address bar. This will bring up the html page generated by the lshw (=list hardware) application.

I tried putting that command into the terminal, but it does something, flashes somethin for a sec, then nothin else. I also did that firefox thing, and it just gives me a page error. Any further suggestions?

Well, what exactly does it do? What flashes on the screen?

You did run the command in Gnome-terminal, correct? Not the "run command" dialogue.

Yes, i ran it in the terminal, Something flashes up "PCI(sys)" or something like that then one or two more things that go so fast i can;t read. And the Firefox URL does not work either.
