Though not as verbose compared to hwinfo's output (on debian here) I've
found lshw (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/lshw/) very useful.

That is not in dispute. I was responding to the claim
that "Hwinfo is made for Debian based systems". Why would
debian add a patch to get it to build on none-suse systems
if its "made for debian systems"?

Hwinfo is SUSE specific. 


Debian page says :-

hwinfo is the hardware detection tool used in SuSE Linux. 
In Debian Edu ( Skolelinux) hwinfo has shown better results

The Mandriva spec file lists :-

At the risk of repeating myself - it does build/run on CentOS 5.

I tried, but hwinfo is very SuSE specific.


Dag, I used hwinfo years ago on Mandrake/Mandriva systems.  Maybe something
helpful there?

I tried MDV packet, but there is some depencies what didn' match
even I have required libaries installed, but ofcourse wrong serial.
As well as connectivas package, didn't get SuSe's yet, but bet
there's maybe other depencies required than tose other distro's.

Original Hwinfo is made for Debian based systems, I think.
