2.What 32 bit utilities are there to identify the hardware capabilities

inxi
For CPU bits specifically:
inxi -Cy
For all CPU capabilities:
inxi -Cay

If these produce any errors, you're using an old inxi version. Upstream version
permits self upgrading thus:
inxi -U
It's been too long since I last used Debian's inxi package, so don't remember if
it's packaged to override -U capability.
inxi -V | head -n1
inxi 3.1.06-00 (2020-08-17)
Running Debian 9.8 I get
root@defaultinstall:/home/richard# inxi -V | head -n1
inxi 2.3.5-00 (2016-12-02)
It didn't like the "a" nor "y" parameters.
I did "apt update" then "apt upgrade" and am now running Debian 9.13
inxi -V | head -n1 re still reports inxi 2.3.5-00 (2016-12-02)
What should I read before attempting "inxi -U"?
I also have the 64 bit flavor of Debian 10 on a separate partition. I'll
run them there and see what I'll get.
As time is available I'll attempt to install also the 32 bit Debian 10.
More later.
Thanks
For a more general display of hardware configuration:
inxi -by
And with more detail:
inxi -bay
The -y switch produces a format resulting in more lines and shorter line length,
so isn't needed, and isn't available in old inxi versions.
