sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install i-nex

got it from http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/i-nex-system-info-tool-for-ubuntulinux.html

sudo apt-get --purge remove i-nex

That programme isn't even needed. In the official repos is lshw-gtk

The top command will remove the package for you

Thank you for your prompt attention. The
 unit is off site, so I will try your solution later this evening.

Removal is a success...new package is also just what I was looking for. Thanks for the help. (Will probably be pestering you and your friends again, as I've been known to have just enough knowledge to be a danger to myself/system).
