Can anyone tell me why the command ''lshw'' gives the error "command not found"
Puppy 5.2
Bash: lshw: command not found
Bash: lshw: command not found
When I was young I knew everything.
Now I'm old I know nothing but I'm much wiser.

I was told in a previous posting:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85051
That a complete Bash was available in Puppy.
Although this was for version 5.3 on a different computer.

Hi Karl,
Thanks for the information.
I usually use Mint whilst trying to learn more about the command line.
Using Puppy seems to cause confusion because of the things that are not available. This is understandable due to the aims of Puppy.
Is there a way to replicate all the available commands of a full distro within Puppy?

That what is in the PATH variable are the available commands , invoked by the short simple cmd-name ie abiword . PATH is set in /etc/profile .
If you put something into f.ex. /root/TEST/bin , then you need to invoke it with the full /path/to/executable
ie /root/TEST/bin/abiword .
Full commands are available in different modes :
1.) Underdog mode -> very special running Puppy. Have not done it yet.
2.) use the chroot command to
if you are running frugal.
Code: Select all
echo $PATH

Also, to see a list of all the commands in Puppy:
- 1. Open a console by clicking the icon on the desktop.
2. Maximize it so it fills the desktop.
3. Click the Tab key twice, then the Y key. After that, the Enter key will keep adding more until they're all listed in the console window. Then you can scroll up or down to search for the one you want.
Hi Karl,
Was this post meant for this problem.
I can't understand what it means.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
Hi Flash,
Thanks for the information.

I think I'll just carry on using Mint for my command line learning.
Puppy is very good and I'll still use it but It can't be all things to all users.
If it tried it would not be Puppy anymore and that would be a bad move.
Thanks to all.
