Thufir,


I didn't see any lshw package neither on F7, atrpms, livna or freshrpms.
The only repositories  I saw lshw was DAG and/or RPMForge, but there was
only up to FC4-FC5.

The meaning of this is if you want lshw installed you may have to go to
their site (http://ezix.org/project/wiki/HardwareLiSter) download the
source and compile it by yourself. Or (but I cannot guarantee it will
work) go to DAG/RPMForge site, download the src.rpm and rebuild the rpm
from source.
