I remember back in my *buntuing days I used an app to export a nicely formatted dump of all the hardware connected to the system, all in html format. It was a totally command line but I remember the output was very comprehensive and nicely formatted.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the utility. Anybody here know of any such program and know the name?

There was a command associated with the hal daemon - something like "hal-display-manager" that I recall in earlier Fedoras. But it may have become obsolete by now ( I can't check since I am not at a Fedora machine now.) I agree that it was an outstanding view of the hardware.

How about hardinfo? It's a GUI tool that shows up under Gnome Applications/System Tools as "System Profiler and Benchmark". It has a Generate Report function that seems to do what you ask.

That's it! You guys are great. :)
Don't remember using the GUI to do it before, but I was probably using the same utility. I'm sure you can have it make a dump straight from the command line, somehow.
