[sf-lug] Intel graphics chipsets (was /firmware/radeon)

[maestro]

quick sidenote:
some distros now no longer include lshw in their install 'bundle'.
experienced users know already (they can stop reading this now.) but for
newer folks you can install lshw and other commands with your package
manager...

hence...

my fedora install disc didn't include lshw

so i...

code:
#dnf install lshw

and there it be now.

'usually' it is merely a case of distros getting to the same output(info)
via different commands that go to the same place.

since i have run into some that didn't know you can install commands
thought i'd share.


message ends.
