Easy now has inxi

November 14, 2022 — BarryK

inxi is a script that reports hardware information. It was originally a bash script, but the developer moved to perl.

I found the perl script to be buggy. Like, for example, running "jwm --version", which doesn't work, only "jwm -v" works. Rather than trying to fix it, I have installed the old bash script in Easy.

See discussion about this on the Easy 4.5 forum thread, mostly page-2:

There are various other little issues that have come up, well worthwhile reading that thread.
