    I tested & found that inxi -Fxz works. But, I don’t see any way of piping or saving the output into a file. And when I tried plugging in a flashdrive, the computer froze up. I had to use the power button to break out of the lockup.

    However, I read in a thread elsewhere, of someone who took a picture of their screen to save the output. So, I did that, using my phone’s camera. I was then able to transfer the pic into the computer using Linux Mint in another partition. It’s not a very good pic, but I think if you zoom in, you should be able to read the contents of the screen.

    I did look into the /.cache/ folder, but I had no way of knowing what was eligible for disposing of and what wasn’t – so, I just left it as is.
