My original posting was more of an introduction and explanation about my Linux 
knowledge as well as the original question as to how to find out what 
hardware FC had found and correctly diagnosed. I don't mind which method I 
use. I want to learn the command line as I think its more powerful and gives 
more options. The more I use it the easier it will become. After getting FC 
installed, not quite the way I wanted (Primary / secondary hard drive 
problems, but I can live with that for now,) I want to get all my hardware 
and peripherals working. The first step being to find out what FC had found. 
I now have a few of the GUI hardware browsers installed and running. Thanks 
for the help so far. I must say I have been lurking around the list for a few 
weeks now even though I had not had the time to get FC up and running on my 
secondary drive and it does seem a very helpful and friendly list.
