I'm not sure about CentOS-6, but for CentOS-7, lshw seems to be in the base
repo.  Flash can be gotten directly from Adobe's site, you can either get
the yum repo or just download the latest rpm and use rpm -Uvh on it.

Looking at pkgs.org, it seems that lshw is also in the base reop for
CentOS-6x.
