linux suse help !

[Qua Sar]

hey i just installed suse linux on a mac. And i am trying to find certain hardware specs and i can't find them. i found the gfx ... but i can't find the ram megabyteage or the CPU (i found 740/750 under cpu in hardware info but i'm not sure if that's what it is) as well i can't find out how much hard drive space there is

I'm trying to find these specs so i can sell the mac.

so were do i find these things??

look in /proc directory. You should have a cpuinfo file and a meminfo file among other things.

dmesg should show you everything.

cat /proc/cpuinfo for cpu.
df -h for hard drive.
free for memory.

dmesg should show you everything.

Except that it only prints the kernel ring buffer so if something is particularly noisy it can push the boot messages off the ring. If that happens you'll have to hope that SuSe saves the log somewhere on the machine, for instance Debian saves it to /var/log/dmesg every bootup.

Obviously you'll have to do it immediately after booting. The buffer should be big enough to handle the boot and a few dozen lines.

for free for memory it said like 600,000 something... is that in K? so if it was 600000 it would be 600 mb of ram??

If you just ran 'free', yes it defaults to K. If you want it in some other units tell it that, for instance 'free -m' will show you megs.
