[ydl-gen] lsusb in 5.0.2 ??

[Bill Fink]

Hi Derick,

Chris already answered your question.  lsusb is part of the
usbutils package ("yum install usbutils").

And you must have done a plain "su" rather than a "su -" since
you didn't have /sbin or /usr/sbin in your PATH.

There's also the whereis command which doesn't depend on your
PATH, unlike the which command.

gwiz% whereis lsusb
lsusb: /sbin/lsusb /usr/share/man/man8/lsusb.8.gz
