Is there a command or file that references the currently running version of Knoppix.
I've looked around in the usual places like:
/etc/issue
/etc/motd
uname -a
dmesg
/proc/version
...etc...
But nowhere can I find that I am currently running V3.2-2003-05-03
I would think that this would be stamped somewhere within the releases files or data.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
TIA.
Greetings Terra,
I read recently a method and thought it was so
nice I copied it down. Sorry I can't give credit --
as I cannot find the original post.
This will not work on a hard drive install.
The version has been placed in the fle
boot.img on the CD. This file is not installed
with a hd install.
With the CD in the drive we use grep to look for
the word BETA and return the line. Enter the
following from shell. Be sure the cdrom is mounted.
I searched the KNOPPIX image for BETA and for RELEASECode:strings /mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img | grep BETA
and got no result. This would be a nice feature to have
standardized.
Best Wishes

That did the trick.
Thank you! :)
