kemical Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 in console type cat /proc/cpuinfo which will give you various info on your system processor easiest way to tell what arch. your pc is at which will help you to determine which packages to install on various systems, i.e. Redhat RPMs look for the line cpu family : # whatever # shows, i.e. 5 then place an "86" after that which will result in you having a 586 architecture and from here you can determine the packages you can install for what architecture your pc is. hth ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongit Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 lspci should give most of the rest of the hardware for most pcs. x86 cpus can use this for even more info on processor: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/cpuid.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kongit Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 whoops. that link to cpuid above is for the windows version. Here is the linux one: http://www.ka9q.net/code/cpuid/ I acturally prefer x86info over cpuid: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/x86info/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
