DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Update pci-utils and pci.ids

Seems to work now:

Code Sample

Since the location of pci.ids.gz is hardcoded, I'll take it that you would like it to stay in /usr/share/misc and lspci in /usr/bin and recompile.

No need to recomplle. I have it working fine here.
Making a new iso as I write this.

[new lspci (64k) + new pci.ids.gz (137k)]-[old lspci (24k) + old pci.ids (154k)] - that makes 23k less to play with

...but I guess the new pci.ids are worth it.

Needing to support legacy mode and allow update-pciids, I guess I will need to place pci.ids.gz in /opt/

...or you could leave pci.ids(.gz) where it is and update it each time you release a new version of dsl - I don't think it changes that often does it?
