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
