Command/Script to find out what hardware is on machine

[zscoundrel]

I should be able to figure out how much memory you have, but in case it 
doesn't, you can add the following parameter at boot time:

	mem=131062k

I usually use the amount that the system reports back form the mmory 
check during hardware boot.
