	Interesting : yum added pyparted, which I've never heard of, even 
on yum nor pirut, as a dependency : 

Installed: hwbrowser.noarch 0:0.33-1.fc7
Dependency Installed: pyparted.i386 0:1.8.5-4.fc7
Complete!

> hwbrowser

	YES! That's the one I can at least make some sense of. Many 
thanks!

I don't see one. But I did manage to copy (manually : precise accuracy 
not guaranteed) into pine on that machine (#1), and email it to myself -- 
I think. That was earlier today; it hasn't arrived yet.

Later : I got a copy out of my outbox into my home directory on #1, and 
managed to scp it from there to the present machine (#2). That shows the 
following: 
================================================
"Sound cards" -- not "video card" -- says :

VIA Technologies VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Contro [cut off]

Driver: snd-via82xx

"System devices" lists something Opteron, the printer twice, some sort
of "host controller" five times, things starting with PNP (seventeen of
them), and some other stuff.
