That's easier said than done. I found the relevant package name and used 
apt-get to install it. At least, I think I did, but typing lsusb comes up with 
bash: lsusb: command not found so that's obviously not right. i tried searching 
for a file called lsusb but came up with no result.

So (newbie Linux question again) - where does apt-get put the installed 
package? Or do I have to do something else first?

Sorry for my ignorance. I think I shall have to buy a book - there's a 
wholeload in the catalogues, but I suspect most of them don't deal with this 
sort of question. I used to use Frisch for Unix admin help, but that looks very 
out of date (2009) now.

Best regards,
