    Determine running Knoppix version

    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.

    Code:
    strings /mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img | grep BETA
    I searched the KNOPPIX image for BETA and for RELEASE
    and got no result. This would be a nice feature to have
    standardized.

    Best Wishes
