I have installed dmidecode and lshw through the package manager with out any 
error messages. I tried to run them from a terminal as a user and root but 
get the same message "no such command". Checked it was installed by doing a 
search in the package manager with the all radio button checked and they are 
installed. What am I doing wrong?
