[K12OSN] lspci, hardware database, USB flash drive questions

[Kevin Matson]

Yep, that worked. Is there some way to get lspci added to the regular
LTSP distribution? While I was in the terminal I noticed that the "find"
command was also missing and that is my favorite crutch so could that be
added as well?

It would be very nice to be able to switch to a working virtual terminal
when logged into X like you can do on a regular Linux client (Ctrl + Alt
+ F#)? When I try this now I just get a blank screen with a cursor but
no prompt.

Thanks,
  Kevin M.

It is really quite simple:

which lspci
cp /locationof/lspci /opt/ltsp/1386/sbin/sbin/
cp /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/hwdata/

Enable a shell on the clients and swithch to it using the <Alt>+<f#>

run lspci to se the terminal hardware descriptions and lspci -n to get 
the pci ids.

This has always worked for me but you may get different results
