    Smile intro

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to Linux Mandriva and learning about the community and support. Have a question re: mother board model number. Don't worry I've looked and can't find it anywhere. Is there another way to find what type of M/B I have. Enjoy your weekend and I'll look forward to your reply's.

    Regards
    Ron

    Welcome to the forums Ron

    You could try
    Code:
    lshal | less
    and look for system information, for me under system.firmware.version the motherboard model is listed.

    It may be easier to access BIOS directly at boot and check motherboard that way ... someone else may have a better way

    Howdy and Welcome. I don't run any rpm distros like Mandriva. But if I need Hardware info in a Apt based distro, I use

    sudo lshw

    Welcome to the forums!

    Sometimes, you can find needed system info with the dmidecode command:

    Code:
    dmidecode | more
    or...

    Code:
    dmidecode | grep -i "WhatYouAreLookingForInQuotes"
    For more information, run :

    Code:
    man dmidecode
    Try it and see what all comes up.
